USC Trojans kick off 2028 recruiting class with big commitment
The USC Trojans landed an early 2028 commitment from WR Roye Oliver III, one of the top wide receivers in the class.
Lincoln Riley and the USC Trojans have been making a lot of progress in the 2027 recruiting cycle, picking up some big commitments over the last week and also getting in position to potentially flip some other top prospects. On top of that, the Trojans also scored a major win in the 2028 class on Friday, landing a commitment from one of the top players out West. 4-star wide receiver Roye Oliver III announced his commitment to the Trojans, becoming the first member of USC's 2028 class.
Oliver is rated as the No. 43 overall player and No. 9 WR, per the 247Sports Composite.
He is getting set to enter his junior year at Hamilton High School in Chandler, Arizona, where he is rated as the No. 2 player in the state. The Trojans have been recruiting him for over a year, offering him a scholarship in January of 2025 and hosting him on several visits since then, including one earlier this month.
