Get ready, college football fans, because one of the nation's top recruits, Honor Fa’alave-Johnson, is about to make his big decision. This five-star safety from San Diego's Cathedral Catholic is set to announce his college commitment on March 14, and it's sure to be a spectacle.
You can catch all the action live on CBS Sports' YouTube channel at 4:00 p.m. ET.
Standing at 6-foot-1 and weighing in at 190 pounds, Honor is not just any recruit-he's a game-changer. With a list of finalists that includes Miami, USC, LSU, Notre Dame, Oregon, and Texas, the stakes couldn't be higher. His offer list reads like a who's who of college football powerhouses, featuring Alabama, Ohio State, and Georgia, among others.
Ranked as the No. 16 prospect nationally for the 2027 class, Honor is also the top safety in the country and the best player coming out of California. His junior year stats are nothing short of remarkable.
He led his team to an 11-3 record and a spot in the California 1-AA state championship game, all while racking up 1,532 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns on just 150 carries. And that's not all-he also caught 35 passes for 564 yards and seven touchdowns.
On the defensive side, he added 40 tackles, three interceptions, and a forced fumble to his impressive resume, earning him the Silver Pigskin Player of the Year award.
The buzz around his decision is palpable, with USC currently leading the pack according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, which gives the Trojans a 63% chance of landing him. But don't count out Miami just yet-they might have a late trick up their sleeve.
As we count down to March 14, fans are eagerly watching his highlight reels, dreaming of what he could bring to their favorite team. Stay tuned, because Honor's next move could shift the balance of power in college football.
