2026 Pasadena (Calif.) Sierra Canyon defensive back Madden Riordan announced his commitment to USC in early November after a string of visits. Many in the Trojans fanbase did not have an overly strong opinion on the land as Riordan is not yet ranked in the 2026 class. I anticipate recruiting services will begin to rank Riordan in their next updates of the class in the not-so-distant future.
