The early signing period for the 2025 cycle is drawing closer, and the USC Trojans are putting the finishing touches on their class, as well as building momentum for the 2026 cycle.

USC hosted a big recruiting weekend, headlined by 2025 five-star Texas A&M quarterback commit Husan Longstreet (CA). With much speculation about 2025 quarterback commit Julian Lewis flipping his commitment to Colorado, the Trojans have shifted their focus towards Longstreet. Most recently, On3's Steve Wiltfong predicted Longstreet to flip to USC.

After USC quarterback coach Luke Huard made a trip down to Orange County on Friday night to watch Longstreet lead Corona Centennial (CA) to an upset win over Mission Viejo in the quarterfinal of the CIF Division 1 Southern Section playoffs, Longstreet took a last-second trip to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to watch the Trojans defeat Nebraska 28-20. Saturday was the first game Longstreet has visited outside of College Station this season.

"I've been talking to Coach Huard since ninth grade when I was in Inglewood," Longstreet told On3. "The one thing they stress is how I am as a person and my leadership. They love my arm talent, but they've said my character is what stands out for them."

"There's a sense of pride about USC, so that would be huge. A lot of my family is in the south, but I grew up out here," Longstreet continued.

Landing Longstreet would be a massive win for coach Lincoln Riley and his reputation of recruiting elite in-state talent.

USC also hosted 2025 five-star defensive lineman Jahkeem Stewart (LA) and 2026 five-star athlete Brandon Arrington (CA) for the Nebraska game.

Defensive line is high on the priority list for the Trojans, which means Stewart is one of the top targets on USC's recruiting board. The Trojans are battling Stewart's in-state school, the LSU Tigers and west coast foe, the Oregon Ducks, for the five-star defensive lineman.

Arrington had his first game day experience out to the Coliseum and the Trojans did not disappoint.

“I had a great experience at USC,” Arrington told On3. “It was a great game, and I had a great time with the players and the coaches. The atmosphere was fun. The band, the people, the DJ’s – everything was fun.”

Saturday could be the first step in the Trojans building a relationship to becoming the favorite to land the Mount Miguel (CA) product who plays his high school football just two hours from USC’s campus.

“This was the most fun I had on a visit there yet,” Arrington told On3. “I had a great time with the coaches, and we had a great time together.”

USC hosted a plethora of commits from their 2025 recruiting class, including linebacker Matai Tagoa’i, cornerback Trestin Castro, linebacker Jadon Perlotte, defensive lineman Floyd Boucard, offensive tackle Elijah Vaikona and receiver James Johnson. They also had a few 2026 commits in attendance, athlete Madden Riordan, receiver Ja’Myron Baker and athlete Joshua Holland.
