USC Trojans Football Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

USC Trojans secure first commitment for 2027 recruiting class with four-star cornerback Aaryn Washington, marking a return to dominance in Southern California talent, reminiscent of the Pete Carroll era.

Emmanuel McNeill-Warren, USCs standout safety, is a top 2026 NFL Draft prospect for the Vikings, boasting impressive stats and a compelling journey. With Harrison Smiths future uncertain, McNeill-Warrens elite ball skills and scheme fit make him an ideal candidate for the Vikings secondary.

USC Trojans, despite missing the College Football Playoff this season, have the twelfth-best odds to win the national championship next year, with DraftKings Sportsbook giving them plus thirty-five hundred odds. Coach Lincoln Riley is optimistic about the teams potential, with quarterback Jayden Maiava returning and a commitment from players and staff. However, replacing key players and facing changes like a new defensive coordinator will be crucial for the Trojans to climb the odds and crash the twelve-team playoff field.

Meet Kamari Ramsey, a standout safety from USC, set to make waves in the 2026 NFL Draft. Standing at six feet tall and weighing 200 pounds, Ramsey has already earned a Senior Bowl invite, showcasing his impressive stats: 164 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 5 interceptions, and 14 pass breakups. His football IQ, coverage skills, and quick processing make him a formidable prospect, potentially adding depth to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety lineup or posing a threat to division rivals.

USC fans, despite their rivalry with Oregon, should be angry, not thrilled, about the Ducks playoff loss. Indianas historic victory, with fewer top recruits, sets a new standard. USCs recent losses to Oregon, including the playoff, are unacceptable. Rooting for Oregon to soften the blow is loser talk. USCs Lincoln Riley faces pressure in 2026, but their national championship trophies outshine Oregons empty case. College football rivalries, like this one, fuel the games excitement.

Walker Lyons, former USC tight end, commits to BYU, joining his younger brother Ryder, a top quarterback recruit. Lyons, who served as USCs number two tight end, now leaves a thin tight end room for the Trojans, who may seek a veteran through the portal or rely on young talent to fill the gap.
