The USC Trojans are actively building their 2027 recruiting class, which currently boasts nine blue chip commitments, defined as prospects rated four or five stars. This strong showing places them 17th nationally in terms of blue chip recruits. Top programs like Notre Dame (17), Florida (16), and Texas A&M (15) lead this specific category.
Despite the 17th-place ranking for blue chip commits, USC's 2027 class is highly regarded overall, holding the No. 10 spot nationally and the No. 3 position within the Big Ten conference. The class comprises 14 total commitments. Among the highest-rated are five-star athlete Honor Fa'alave-Johnson from San Diego and five-star edge rusher Mekai Brown from Greenwich, Connecticut. Both have been verbally committed to USC since March and April of 2026, respectively.
USC's presence in the Big Ten includes notable rivalries and upcoming matchups. While Michigan is the only other Big Ten team in the top six for blue chip commits, USC, Ohio State, and Oregon hold the top three spots in the conference's overall class rankings. The Trojans are scheduled to host Oregon on September 26 and Ohio State on October 31 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. These games mark significant conference matchups for USC in the upcoming season.
