USC lands 2023 athlete Kade Eldridge

Lynden (Wash.) Lynden Christian School athlete Kade Eldridge has committed to USC, announcing the news Wednesday on social media.

He chose the Trojans over Michigan, Oregon, Washington and Washington State.

Eldridge is the 11th commit in the 2023 USC recruiting class, which ranks 3rd in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Ranking. The only teams ranked ahead of the Trojans are Ohio State and Notre Dame.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $5.6k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Eldridge is currently unranked in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. Rivals and 247 Sports both rank Eldridge as a three-star prospect, according to the Industry Comparison Tool.
