USC's 2027 recruiting class is starting to catch fire, and it's creating quite the buzz among college football enthusiasts. After a bit of a slow start, the Trojans have turned up the heat by securing commitments from some standout talents.
Earlier this month, they landed Honor Fa’alave-Johnson, a five-star athlete who’s expected to shine as a defensive back. Now, they've added another gem to their secondary.
This week, USC welcomed four-star cornerback Danny Lang to their ranks. According to Rivals' industry ranking, Lang is the No. 75 overall player and the No. 10 cornerback in the 2027 class. He made the choice to join the Trojans over other powerhouse programs like Oregon and Ohio State.
Lang hails from Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California, a well-known pipeline for USC talent. This prestigious program has produced stars like Matt Leinart, Matt Barkley, and Amon-Ra St.
Brown. Adding to the intrigue, Aaryn Washington-another cornerback commit for USC's 2027 class-also has roots at Mater Dei, though he’ll be wrapping up his high school career at IMG Academy in Florida.
With Lang's commitment, USC's 2027 recruiting class is now ranked No. 6 nationally by Rivals. Given the recruiting prowess of general manager Chad Bowden and head coach Lincoln Riley, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Trojans break into the top five soon. Their recruiting momentum is undeniable, and fans are eager to see how this class shapes the future of USC football.
