Pac-12 football recruiting rankings following National Signing Day 2017. The USC Trojans cleaned up Wednesday, signing some of the most sought-after prospects still on the board.
Clay Helton and his staff headed into National Signing Day with a good class. By the end of the day, it was considered nothing short of great.
USC landed a host of blue-chip prospects Wednesday to shoot all the way up the board to No. 5 nationally in Scout.com’s team rankings. Five-star recruits Austin Jackson, Jay Tufele and Joseph Lewis all made pledges to the Trojans on National Signing Day, which got off to a pretty eventful start for USC.
Four-star linebacker Levi Jones played a bit of a trick on those watching his commitment, as he took off his jacket to reveal a Florida Gators shirt. He removed that and wore a Florida State shirt. Then, he took that off to reveal a USC shirt, after which he grabbed a Trojans hat and declared, “Fight On!”
Two other Pac-12 schools landed top-25 classes as well, with UCLA slotting at No. 21 and Stanford coming in at No. 24. The Bruins’ only 5-star recruit – cornerback Darnay Holmes – signed his letter of intent Jan. 9.
The Cardinal signed 5-star prospects Davis Mills, Foster Sarell and Walker Little on Wednesday.
Here’s how the rest of the Pac-12 class rankings look following National Signing Day.
