2024 USC football recruiting tracker
Lincoln Riley and USC wrapped up their first season in the 2023 recruiting cycle signing the No. 9 class in the country and the No. 2 class in the Pac-12 with 22 signees. That class finished 39 spots higher than their 2022 class with former head coach Clay Helton.
As of early Monday morning — June 19, 2023 — USC has risen from No. 19 to No. 11 in the 2024 class with the recent commitment from Marcelles Williams.
We wrote on Sunday that “The success of the program under Lincoln Riley, the quality of staffing and experience within the program, and the attractiveness of Los Angeles as a place to play football are all coming together to form a knockout sales pitch toward recruits.”
USC hosted 12 official visitors two weeks ago and the Trojans’ staff has landed seven commitments from that group so far.
Here’s our 2024 football recruiting tracker. Come back for updates, and pay attention to Lincoln Riley’s Fight On! emojis. As of early Monday morning, there was one “unaccounted for” emoji, meaning that USC has an upcoming commitment in the bag but hasn’t announced it yet. “Emoji math” matters this time of year.
Here — as of June 19 at 5 a.m. in Los Angeles — is the current 2024 USC recruiting class, with more to come:
