After landing the No. 1 class in the 2026 recruiting cycle, Lincoln Riley and the USC Trojans are once again off to another hot start.
On Saturday they landed what could be a cornerstone piece to the 2027 class.
San Diego (CA) Cathedral Catholic five-star athlete Honor Fa’alave-Johnson announced his commitment to the Trojans choosing USC over LSU, Miami, Notre Dame, Oregon and Texas.
According to 247Sports, Fa’alave-Johnson ranks as the No. 22 player in the country, the No. 1 athlete and the No. 2 player out of California.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder earned MaxPreps Junior All-American honors as a two-way star for the Dons. On offense, he carried the ball 152 times for 1,532 yards and 23 touchdowns. He also hauled in 35 receptions for 564 yards and seven more touchdowns.
On defense, he added 40 tackles, three interceptions, and a forced fumble.
USC Trojans football recruiting continues to flourish
USC looks well on its way to another top 10 and potential top 5 class following Fa’alave-Johnson’s commitment.
He becomes USC’s fifth commitment so far this cycle and the third pledge that ranks as a top 75 prospect in the cycle. The others include Centennial (CA) four-star wide receiver Quentin Hale and IMG Academy (FL) four-star cornerback Aaryn Washington.
Riley and the Trojans are also hitting heavy on in-state recruits. Of the five pledges, four hail from the Golden State.
