We are now fully enveloped in the 2026 recruiting cycle and the USC Trojans have locked in an official visit with 4-star running back Favour Akih.
His visit is officially scheduled for the weekend of June 6th-8th, per Akih himself.
Favour Akih Locks In Official Visit With USC Trojans
As with all blue-chip prospects, USC will have plenty of competition for the Ohio running back. He has visits scheduled with Ohio State, Michigan, Miami, Penn State, and Michigan State to name a few.
The 5’11, 190-pound RB is the 16th-ranked running back in the country, and the 9th-ranked overall player in the state of Ohio. The 14th-ranked running back (Shahn Alston), also from the state of Ohio, is already committed to USC.
At the moment, Akih is heavily predicted (91% on On3) to commit to Miami, but USC does come in at 3rd with a 2.2% prediction confidence.
The Trojans are favored to land local 4-star RB Deshonne Redeaux out of Oaks Christian, who is the 13th-ranked RB. They will most likely add 2-3 running backs in the 2026 class.
