The offer from USC was an exciting one to add to his long offer list, Ross told On3.

“I’m flabbergasted,” Jayshawn Ross said. “I was excited to receive my first West Coast offer. USC is a school that I was interested in learning more about. I had a great conversation with (Trojans outside linebacker coach) Roy Manning.”

Jayshawn Ross racking up offers

The Trojans offer joins previous ones from Kansas, Nebraska, Kansas State, Penn State, Oregon, Iowa and Iowa State. He is also getting interest from Missouri, but the Tigers have yet to offer the in-state target.

According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, Kansas is the early favorite to land Jayshawn Ross.

The Jayhawks are listed by the On3 RPM with a 47.7% chance of landing his commitment. He’s visited Lawrence a couple of times early in the recruiting process.

That’s followed by a 16.7% chance from both K-State and Nebraska. Missouri is listed at 15.2%. All the other schools on his list are currently listed with less than a 1% chance of landing him.

While many other prospects are taking numerous unofficial visits and junior day trips, Jayshawn Ross said at this point he’s not lined anything up for the rest of March and April. However, he’s hoping to get another opportunity to see some of his top local favorites or even arrange a bigger trip to see one of the national programs that have offered him.

Jayshawn Ross ranks as the No. 90 2024 prospect in the country, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

He also ranks as the No. 11 EDGE and third-best player in a loaded 2024 class in Missouri.

Jayshawn Ross currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $6,200. 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. Ross ranks No. 1,654 in the High School Football NIL Rankings.
