USC Commit Details Lincoln Riley Party During Visit

One USC 2026 commit took in the sights and sounds of an epic block party while visiting the Trojans.

At the home of his future college football head coach Lincoln Riley, nonetheless.

Riley took official visits to a new level, as college head coaches everywhere are getting more creative during a new summer recruiting period. June allowed coaches like Riley everywhere to host recruits on official visits -- a first ever as officials are often held during the regular season.

Running back commit Deshonne Redeaux of Oaks Christian High experienced Riley's block party, he shared with Gerard Martinez of 247Sports. How was Riley able to shut down his block?

"Man, that was a good time," Redeaux began with Martinez. "He shut the whole block down. It was a block party with food trucks and everybody came together. It was just a really good time."

Sounds like the L.A. native Redeaux and the other recruits who visited USC had a variety of food options. They also took in a massive oceanfront view.

Riley bought a $17 million mansion in Palos Verdes Estates back in 2022, right after he got named the Trojans head coach. Redeaux likely got a chance to see the 13,000 square foot venue Riley lives in with his family. His house features a five-car garage, built in elevator, a built-in movie theater, a putting green for golf and a tennis court.

Palos Verdes Estates is known as one of the more affluent neighborhoods of L.A. It's a coastal city that is located approximately 45 minutes south of the USC campus.

Redeaux got the chance to take in Riley's neighborhood with the other recruits on hand. The four-star concludes he aims to bring back a championship legacy to the Land of Troy.
