Tracking Lincoln Riley’s USC recruits: Mater Dei’s Raleek Brown commits to Trojans

A few hours after he was first introduced as USC’s next head coach, Lincoln Riley was in Raleek Brown’s living room. A few days after that, the five-star Santa Ana Mater Dei running back decided to follow Riley to USC.

Brown is the first commitment for Riley in USC’s 2022 class and was clearly a priority for the new coach, who took the job on Sunday morning and took to convincing Brown by Sunday night. He’s considered No. 2 overall running back in the nation and the No. 2 player in the state, according to 247Sports.com.

“Mama I’m Staying Home,” Brown wrote on social media.
