USC Trojans Recruit Top QB Jonas Williams, Claim No. 1 Class

The USC Trojans have surged to the top of the 2026 recruiting class following the commitment of four-star quarterback Jonas Williams, who recently flipped from Oregon. Williams, ranked as the No. 45 recruit nationally and the top player from Illinois, cited his strong relationships with USC coach Lincoln Riley and his staff as key factors in his decision. This flip not only enhances USC's recruiting prospects but also drops Oregon to second place in the rankings. The Trojans are actively preparing for a busy recruiting period, hosting numerous top prospects for official visits this summer. USC’s class already includes several notable recruits, signaling a strong future for the program under Riley's leadership. The competitive landscape remains intense, particularly between USC and Oregon as they vie for elite talent in the region.
