USC debuts in Top-25 recruiting rankings following commitment of Xavier Jordan

USC landed a commitment from one of the top wide receivers in America this morning when Los Angeles (Cal.) Sierra Canyon four-star Xavier Jordan went to Twitter to announce his pledge. Jordan’s commitment in the third for USC in the 2024 class and also marking the first top-100 ranked prospect in the class for the Trojans.
Due to lack of commitments, USC previously was not in the national rankings, but this commitment allowed USC to soar into the rankings, debuting in the top-25.
As of this morning, USC is now ranked No. 18 in the 2024 Team Recruiting Rankings. The current class is sitting at a score of 89.24.
