The USC Trojans Are A Finalist For Top 2026 Recruit At Premium Position

Yesterday, the big news for the USC Trojans was that 4-star defensive lineman Jaimeon Winfield was shutting down his recruitment, signifying he will be taking no more visits and is fully locked in with the Trojans.

There was also the breaking news that 5-star cornerback RJ Sermons would be reclassifying to the 2025 class and would be on campus with the team by July.

While he plays a different position, Sermons’ reclassifying frees up another spot for a potential elite recruit to commit to the USC 2026 class. Within the cornerback room, the focus will be on Brandon Arrington, Davon Benjamin, and a potential flip of Havon Finney, but it will also give them flexibility at other positions, namely the defensive line.

We have said for some time that Lincoln Riley and his staff will likely add 2 to 3 more defensive linemen in this class, which would include interior and EDGE. One of the top interior defensive linemen remaining just announced his Top 4, and the USC Trojans are a finalist.

4-Star DL Titan Davis Puts USC Trojans In Final 4

The 6’5, 270-pound DL out of Saint Louis, Missouri, is the 9th-ranked DL in the 2026 class, per On3 Industry Rankings, just two spots behind USC commit Jaimeon Winfield.

His final 4 includes:

  • USC Trojans
  • Alabama
  • Michigan
  • Penn State

Davis also announced today that he will be on campus for his official visit on June 13 through the 15th.

He has an official visit scheduled with Alabama on May 30th, Penn State on June 6th, and finishes his visits with Michigan on June 20th, one week after USC.

Coach Eric Henderson has been the primary coach in his recruitment, and he will aim to close this out and get a commitment next month.

The USC Trojans currently have five interior defensive linemen committed to the class.

  • 4-Star Jaimeon Winfield
  • 4-Star Tomuhini Topui
  • 4-Star Braeden Jones
  • 3-Star Jake Johnson
  • 3-Star Malik Brooks

This is already a very strong class in the trenches, adding Titan Davis would make it the unquestioned best in the country.
