USC has offered another five-star prospect in the 2025 cycle, this one coming out of the state of Alabama. 2025 Birmingham (Ala.) Parker cornerback Na’eem Offord reported his new USC offer Thursday evening.

Offord is the No. 11 overall prospect and No. 2 cornerback in the 2025 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 2 player in Alabama.

On3 is higher on Offord than the rest of the industry, ranking him as the No. 4 overall prospect in the nation and the No. 1 cornerback.

Something intriguing for USC fans to see is that Offord trains with 2025 USC commit Anquon Fegans. The tweet below is from the pair training together just early today.

The 6-foot-1, 175-pound defensive back holds 26 total offers. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, Alabama currently holds the lead to land a commitment from Offord at 24.1%. 

RPM was released to the public in December 2021. The On3 engineering group teamed up with Spiny.ai to create the industry’s first algorithm and machine learning-based product to predict where athletes will attend college. 

It factors in machine learning, social sentiment, visits and historical trends. However, expert predictions are still a big piece of the RPM equation.

On3 NIL Valuation

Offord has an On3 NIL Valuation of $138K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). 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

Na’eem Offord scouting report

“Twitchy, highly coordinated athlete who projects as one of the top defensive back prospects in the 2025 cycle. Has plus stature and length, measuring in at close to 6-foot-1, 180-pounds with a 6-foot-7 wing-span prior to his junior season. Registered as one of the top athletes on the spring camp circuit, posting an 11’1” broad jump and an electronically-timed 4.59 second 40-yard dash (pulled up midway through) at Under Armour’s Atlanta camp. 

“Is a two-way star on Friday nights, making plays on offense as a receiver and ball carrier while doubling as a cornerback. Rarely tested on defense, but shows his considerable athleticism and plus ball skills on offense. Very fluid and surprisingly polished in defensive back drills in the camp setting. Looks to have notable upside at defensive back once he focuses on the position full-time.”
