The USC Trojans strengthened their top-ranked 2026 recruiting class this week with the commitment of cornerback Jakwon Morris. Hailing from Mississippi, Morris is currently ranked as the #1 cornerback in the Junior College ranks. He received 28 offers, primarily from Group of Five programs, before ultimately choosing to join the Trojans.
This commitment underscores USC’s aggressive approach to building its secondary. Standing 6'0" and weighing 170 lbs, Morris brings a combination of athleticism and elite size to the cornerback room. He marks the sixth cornerback commitment in the 2026 class, not including RJ Sermons, who reclassified to 2025.
