Nation's No. 1 Tight End Mark Bowman Commits to USC
Mark Bowman, a five-star tight end from Santa Ana Mater Dei, has committed to USC's top-ranked 2026 recruiting class, becoming the first tight end commit for the Trojans in that cycle. Bowman, who reclassified from the 2027 to the 2026 class, is widely regarded as the nation's No. 1 tight end prospect and is often compared to former Georgia star Brock Bowers for his combination of size, athleticism, route-running, and blocking skills. USC's tight end coach Chad Savage prioritized Bowman as his top target, and the Trojans intensified their recruitment efforts, ultimately securing Bowman over other heavy contenders, including Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Ole Miss. At 6-foot-4.5 and 225 pounds, Bowman is seen as a potential immediate impact player who can make plays downfield and dominate as a run blocker. His commitment shifts the recruiting landscape, especially for Texas, which now looks to pivot to other tight end prospects, and for Georgia, where Bowman was considered a must-have recruit. Overall, Bowman's signing is seen as a major win for USC, bolstering an already deep and talented tight end room.
