Lincoln Riley's USC adds four-star OT Aaron Dunn to pair up with five-star QB Julian Lewis

Four-star offensive tackle Aaron Dunn from Spanish Fork High School in Utah has committed to USC's 2025 class. He initially committed to Utah on Aug. 8 but backed off his pledge on Thursday morning.

Dunn now becomes the fourth offensive lineman in the Trojans’ Class of 2025, joining Carde Smith, Willi Wascher and Elijah Vaikona. He posted his commitment news on X, writing:

"Fight on ✌️."

Before announcing his commitment to coach Lincoln Riley's Trojans, he posted about his decommitment from the Utes, writing:

“First I want to thank god for the countless blessings that he has bestowed upon me. After prayers and discussions with my family, I have decided to decommit from the University of Utah. Thank you to coach Harding, and Whittingham for giving me the opportunity to play for the team.”

The 6-foot-7, 290-pound prospect also had offers from Nebraska, Oregon, UCLA, Arkansas, Florida, Missouri, Tennessee and Texas, among others. He is ranked by ESPN as the No. 70 overall prospect in the nation, the No. 9 in the 2025 class and the No. 2 recruit in Utah.

USC has a promising group coming in the 2025 class, which holds 23 committed players. It is ranked No. 10 nationally and No. 3 in the Big Ten behind Ohio State and Oregon. Five-star prospects, wide receiver Jerome Myles and quarterback Julian Lewis, are the two highest-rated recruits committed to USC this cycle.
