Recruit Watch
Important Notes: TributeToTroy.com is not involved in the recruiting process at USC and does not in any way speak for or solicit information from the football staff. If you are a recruit, you should contact them directly. The information on these pages is collected from various sources (some reliable, some not). If a prospect is or is not on this list, it does NOT mean that USC is or is not recruiting him. It is for entertainment purposes only and not guaranteed to be accurate, complete, or indicative of whom the staff is actually recruiting. While we do try to be as accurate as possible, this list is somewhat speculative. Asterisks indicate reported USC offers (which are all non-binding verbal offers at this point). Dates indicate past and scheduled visits. Updates and corrections are welcomed and can be sent here.
