Kana was previously committed to USC for eight months before backing down in late October because of the firing of Clay Helton.

“Due to the recent coaching changes at USC and interests from other schools, I am officially re-opening my recruitment,” Kana wrote.

He is one of four Trojans decommits along with three-star running back DeAnthony Gatson, Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei Five-Star Plus+ cornerback Domani Jackson and Columbus (Ga.) Hardaway five-star defensive linema Mykel Williams.

Kana is the No. 526 prospect in the 2022 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

The two-time captain at Katy High is the second-highest rated recruit in the Red Raiders recruiting class behind Broken Arrow (Okla.) four-star cornerback Maurion Horn.

Texas Tech was the No. 62 recruiting class in the On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Ranking before Kana’s commitment. The Red Raiders have now jumped to No. 56.
