USC football recruiting: Full List of players visiting Lincoln Riley's Trojans this weekend ft. 5-star DL Elijah Griffin

USC's football program has undergone big transitions. The Trojans brought in Lincoln Riley and are moving to the Big Ten. One thing hasn't changed. USC recruits like the historic national power that they are. With a recruiting dead period coming, the Trojans have an impressive slate of visitors according to 247sports. Here's a list of the anticipated visitors for USC.

List of players visiting USC Trojans this weekend

Lincoln Riley can sell visiting players on the possibility of being the next Caleb Williams.

1. Elijah Griffin, DL

The 6 ft. 5, 285 pound Griffin is ranked as the nation's 8th best player overall by 247sports. Griffin hails from Savannah, Georgia, and could prove tough for Lincoln Riley to pull away from the home state Bulldogs and Kirby Smart.

2. Jared Smith, Edge

A massive 6 ft. 6.5, 235 pound edge rusher from Alabama, Smith is also a five-star prospect per 247sports. That service ranks him as the 19th-best player in the entire 2025 recruiting class. Smith is coming off a mid-week visit to Florida State.

3. Kendarius Reddick, S (UCF Commit)

A four-star recruit from Georgia, Reddick decommitted from Auburn in February to commit to UCF. The USC visit will be his first visit since that commitment. 247sports places Reddick as the nation's No. 169 recruit and the 14th best safety prospect in the 2025 class.

4. Phillip Bell, WR

A rangy, 6 ft. 2 receiver from California, Bell has long been linked to the Trojans. A four-star recruit ranked as the nation's 29th best receiver by 247sports, he's a standout. A week ago, Bell visited Ohio State.

5. Marco Jones, Edge

A 6 ft. 5 edge rusher, Jones is another home-state prospect who Lincoln Riley would love to nab. A four-star recruit who 247sports calls the nation's No. 122 player and the 14th best edge in the country, Jones has also been slated for a visit to Texas.

6. Kelshaun Johnson, Athlete

A Texas product, the four-star athlete was thought to be leaning toward staying home for the Longhorns or Aggies. Indeed, those are Johnson's two most recent recruiting visits. But the No. 8 athlete in the nation per 247sports would be a fine prize for Lincoln Riley and the Trojans.

7. Malachi Goodman, OL

A 315-pound road grader of a lineman who is the No. 6 interior line prospect in the nation from 247sports, Goodman hails from New Jersey. But he's drawn interest from all over the country, with his two most recent visits going to Alabama and Georgia. He'd be a haul for Riley.

8. Carde Smith, OT (Auburn commit)

A four-star tackle from Mobile, Alabama, Smith committed to Auburn in April and visited the school last week. But he's slated to be in Southern California this week. Smith is something of a late bloomer as USC only offered him a scholarship last month.

9. Trajen Odom, DL

A three-star recruit from North Carolina, Odom visited LSU, Ohio State and Oregon over the past three weeks. You can get an idea from that list of why USC is prioritizing him.

10. Brandon Brown, DL

A Florida prospect, Brown is a Texas commit. It was unclear whether he would actually visit USC as he has also been rumored to be visiting Oklahoma. The 6-foot-1, 286 pound defensive lineman is a 3-star prospect per 247sports, which ranks him as the nation's 56th best defensive lineman.

The Commits

Five USC commits are expected to also visit. Of the five, the highest-rated is in-state linebacker Matai Tagoa'i, who is the No. 79 player in the class per 247sports. Four-star in-state CB Trestin Castro is another visiting commit as are three-star Gus Cordova, Harry Dalton III and Daune Morris.
