USC football recruiting roundup: Trojans rise to fifth nationally

After bringing in likely the worst recruiting class in USC football history, the Trojans are bouncing back in a huge way in the 2021 cycle.

Over the past week, USC added three new commitments, bringing their total pledges to nine and their recruiting class rank up to No. 5 in the 247Sports composite.

For reference, last year’s class ranked No. 55 (a great number for Trojans, but not for recruiting).
