Draper (Utah) Corner Canyon five-star wide receiver Jerome Myles committed to USC back in September.

On Sunday, Myles announced he was reopening his recruitment. The No. 5 wide receiver and No. 23 player in the 2025 class, according to 247Sports' Composite Rankings, Myles is now back on the market once again. He had previously been committed to Ole Miss from April 28 until June 24.

"After talking with my family and god I’ve decided to decommit from the University of Southern California," Myles said on his Instagram story.

Myles' decision comes amid rumors Texas A&M is the new favorite to land the 6-foot-2, 210-pound pass catcher. The Aggies have received several 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions to land Myles.

Myles officially visited Texas A&M in June and also took trips to USC, Utah and Ole Miss.

"Myles is one of the top receivers in the country and has a ton of upside. He has a rare combination of size, speed and body control and reminds us a bit of former Washington All-American wide out and recent No. 9 pick of the Chicago Bears, Rome Odunze," said 247Sports' Greg Biggins.

"He has an athletic 6-2, 210 pound frame and is a true deep threat who can get behind any defense. He has a track background with personal bests this Spring of 10.57-100m and 21.30-200m. He’s not just track fast, his speed carries over to the football field and he can routinely blow past opposing corners who are giving him huge cushions. He adjusts well to the football over either shoulder, shows the ability to change gears and knows how to set up an opposing corner. He has a large catch radius and shows the ability to make contested catches over a corner or catch a ball down by his ankles. He has strong hands, isn’t afraid to go over the middle and catches the ball well through contact."

An elite track runner in addition to his football prowess, Myles is the top-ranked senior in the state of Utah.
