Four-star linebacker Xavier Griffin, the No. 29 overall recruit in the 2026 ESPN 300, has decommitted from USC, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.

Griffin, a 6-foot-4, 205-pound defender from Gainesville, Georgia, had been pledged to the Trojans since July 2024. ESPN's third-ranked defender in the current cycle had stood among the top prospects in coach Lincoln Riley's star-studded 2026 recruiting class.

Griffin's decision to pull his pledge from USC stemmed from a desire to schedule official visits elsewhere, sources told ESPN.
