Another one of the nation’s top prospects will take his recruitment into the new year.

On Sunday night, West Jordan (Utah) Corner Canyon five-star wide receiver Jerome Myles decommitted from USC. With the Early Signing Period now just two days away, Myles tells On3’s Hayes Fawcett that he will not be making another decision this week.

The one-time Ole Miss commit was pledged to the Trojans since Sept. 18. He is coming off a visit to Texas A&M over the weekend. On3’s Steve Wiltfong has placed a pick in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine in favor of the Aggies landing Myles.

“After talking with my family and god I’ve decided to decommit from the University of Southern California, please respect my decision,” Myles wrote announcing his decision on Instagram.

The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Myles is the No. 24 overall prospect in the 2025 class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also ranks as the nation’s No. 4 wide receiver and top recruit in Utah.

Myles owns a slew of offers and at one point had a top-10 list that included Georgia, Michigan, Auburn, Utah, Ohio State and others. Texas A&M is now trending in the On3 RPM, though the elite pass-catcher is now pushing things back further to find his home at the college level.

Myles is the second five-star recruit to announce that he won’t sign this week, as Alabama five-star offensive tackle commit Ty Haywood is also planning to take things into 2025. The Early Signing Period begins on Wednesday, Dec. 4 and runs through Friday, Dec. 6.

Jerome Myles Scouting Summary

On3 writes this of Myles as a prospect:

“The most athletically-gifted wide receiver in the 2025 cycle. An athletic marvel of a prospect with a unique combination of elite size, athleticism and skill but has missed large chunks of his prep career with injuries. Measured in at 6-foot-3, 215 pounds prior to his senior season. One of the fastest prospects in the 2025 cycle. Posted absolutely scintillating marks in the 100 meters (10.36) and 200 meters (20.84) as a junior en route to state titles in both events. Broke a long-standing state record in the 100 meters. Carries that athleticism over to the field. Looked like a five-star talent at the beginning of his senior season, lighting up powerhouse IMG Academy for multiple touchdowns. Capable of winning in every area of the field. Has the speed to blow by defenders as a deep threat.

…Torched one-on-one coverage as an outside target. Draws safety attention with his mere presence. Has a solid release package and easily stacks corners off the line of scrimmage. Shows very good ball tracking ability. Strong hands at the catch point. Has the ability to win in jump ball situations. Flashed outstanding physicality and ability to pick up yardage after the catch as a senior. Dangerous in the screen game and working on crossing routes. Dominant perimeter blocker. Takes pride in that role and consistently bodies corners in the run game.”
