2026 Class for USC
The 2026 class is off to a hot start for the Trojans. The headliner of the class (and country) is Carrollon (Ga.) five-star quarterback Julian Lewis, who committed to USC earlier this season.
Lewis ranks as the No. 1 player in the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also tabbed in as the No. 1 quarterback and the No. 1 player in the state of Georgia in the 2026 class.
Also, committed in the class is a local standout in Los Alamitos (Calif.) wide receiver Tron Baker.
There are also several names who are trending with the Trojans in recent weeks, a major one being Los Angeles (Cal.) Loyola cornerback Brandon Lockhart, the No. 1 prospect in California.
