USC football came into the 2019 recruiting cycle with a legacy to live up to. The Trojans had managed to pull in five consecutive Top 10 recruiting classes and were consistently among the nation’s elite when it came to pulling in top talent.
However, a 5-7 season, instability in the coaching staff and major question marks about the direction of the program have ensured USC’s streak and seemingly unstoppable recruiting prowess has slowed down considerable.
During Wednesday’s Signing Day, the Trojans completed a class of 26 players, which ranks No. 18 in the 247Sports composite team rankings.
