USC debuts in Top-25 recruiting rankings following commitment of Xavier Jordan
USC landed a commitment from one of the top wide receivers in America this morning when Los Angeles (Cal.) Sierra Canyon four-star Xavier Jordan went to Twitter to announce his pledge. Jordan’s commitment in the third for USC in the 2024 class and also marking the first top-100 ranked prospect in the class for the Trojans.
Due to lack of commitments, USC previously was not in the national rankings, but this commitment allowed USC to soar into the rankings, debuting in the top-25.
As of this morning, USC is now ranked No. 18 in the 2024 Team Recruiting Rankings. The current class is sitting at a score of 89.24.
More on the current class for USC
To date, the three commitments in the 2024 class are Los Angeles (Cal.) Sierra Canyon four-star Xavier Jordan, Lake Oswego (Ore.) Lakeridge four-star tight end Joey Olsen, and McKinney (Tex.) three-star running back Bryan Jackson.
Also, as of right now, there are 20 prospects in the class of 2024 who are currently favored in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine to land with USC. A good portion of them visited USC this spring and/or are planning official visits in the summer.
The Trojans are currently set to host 17 official visitors in the month of June, primarily scheduled for two major visit weekends. The staff will hope for similar success as last cycle when they landed 10+ of their June official visitors.
USC finished the 2023 class ranked inside the top-10 and Lincoln Riley and staff have started off on the right foot with an opportunity to repeat that feat in the 2024 class.
