San Diego (Calif.) Lincoln three-star EDGE David Peevy has committed to USC, he announced on Thursday.

Peevy is the No. 963 overall prospect and No. 81 EDGE in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 78 player in California.

On3 rates Peevy higher than other recruiting services, according to the Industry Comparison. Even though he is not ranked in the 2023 On300, Peevy is the No. 53 EDGE and No. 36 player in California.

“USC is a great program,” Peevy told Scott Schrader of WeAreSC in August. “It’s always been a top-tier program. They have a great new coaching staff with (head coach) Lincoln Riley… all the people who came with him from Oklahoma. I think it’s going to be a great team, coached well and I really like that school a lot.”

The 6-foot-4, 235-pound prospect took official visits to each of his finalists, tripping to Oregon on June 13, USC on June 16 and Washington on Sept. 16. But he returned to both Oregon and USC at the end of September and beginning of October, cementing those as his top two schools.

He joins a Trojans class that currently sits at No. 13 nationally in the On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings. The group is highlighted by a pair of Five-Star Plus+ commits in quarterback Malachi Nelson and wide receiver Zachariah Branch.

Peevy has an On3 NIL Valuation of $5.9K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. 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.
