After scheduling official visits with Washington on May 31 and Notre Dame on June 14, On3 four-star wide receiver Raiden Vines-Bright locked in two more official visits.

The 6-foot, 175-pound playmaker out of Tempe (Ari.) IMG Academy has locked in an official visit to Arizona State on April 19 and USC on May 17.

Getting back to Arizona will take Vines-Bright home. He has visited Arizona State three times and he has multiple relationships with coaches on that staff.

“Coach Kenny Dillingham, Coach Ra’Shaad Samples, Coach Charlie Ragle and Coach Marcus Arroyo recruit me and I have relationships with them,” Vines-Bright told On3. “I like how they recruit me and how close to home Arizona State is.”

USC isn’t as close as Arizona State to home for Vines-Bright, but Los Angeles isn’t too far from his family either. The Trojans signed another Top 20 class in 2024 and that appeals to Vines-Bright.

“With USC, I like how they always have the talent to learn off of, top quarterbacks, and great coaches.”

Dennis Simmons and Luke Huard are the lead recruiters for USC.

More from Vines-Bright on Notre Dame, Washington

Vines-Bright is familiar with Notre Dame since its coaches have visited IMG Academy. Additionally, the four-star has developed a “really good relationship” with wide receivers coach Mike Brown, who came to the Fighting Irish from Wisconsin.

Vines-Bright built a connection with Jedd Fisch when he was the head coach at Arizona. Now, Fisch is in the same position at Washington and the Huskies are one of the programs on his radar. 

“He’s a great coach,” Vines-Bright said. “I really like how much he interacts with me and my mom. He’ll send my mom texts all the time. I really like that about him.” 

Wide receivers coach Kevin Cummings is another Washington staffer that Vines-Bright is close with. Vines-Bright – who last visited Seattle for the Huskies’ Apple Cup win over Washington State on Nov. 25 – was intrigued by Washington when it was led by Kalen DeBoer, but has “a little bit more interest now” with Fisch at the helm.
