USC Lands Top Offensive Lineman for Stacked 2026 Recruiting Class
1 Aug
Summary
- USC's 2026 recruiting class ranked 2nd nationally
- 3-star OL Breck Kolojay commits to USC, 32nd in 2026 class
- Kolojay had 37 other offers, including from Ohio State and Penn State
As USC head coach Lincoln Riley prepares for the upcoming season, he is also building a powerhouse recruiting class for 2026. According to 247Sports, the Trojans' 2026 recruiting class is currently ranked second-best in the nation, trailing only Georgia.
Just last week, USC secured a major commitment for their 2026 class, landing 3-star offensive lineman Breck Kolojay from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. Kolojay, who is ranked as the 21st-best offensive lineman and 40th-best prospect in the state of Florida, chose the Trojans over 37 other programs, including Ohio State, Penn State, and Tennessee.
247Sports director of scouting Andrew Ivins praised Kolojay's potential, describing him as an "advanced O-line prospect with college-ready size" who "should offer some alignment flexibility" and "could push for playing time relatively early." While Ivins noted Kolojay may face some challenges with his reach and speed, he believes the IMG Academy product will be a valuable addition to USC's stacked 2026 offensive line class.
With Kolojay's commitment, USC's 2026 O-line group now includes five-star tackle Keenyi Pepe, also from IMG Academy, as well as four-star guard Esun Tafa, four-star tackle Vlad Dyakonov, and three-star center Kannon Smith, tackle Chase Deniz, and guard John Fifita. This impressive collection of talent has 247Sports calling the Trojans' 2026 O-line class "as talented as it is deep."
