The USC Trojans are at the point in this recruiting cycle where they are having to move on from high-end prospects. With 28 players already committed, and most likely 2 or so more coming in the next week, there just isn’t enough room for everyone.
We also know about their new policy of once players commit, they are required to shut down their recruitment and not take any more visits.
This means that there will be some players whom the Trojans have pushed hard for, who they might have to move on from.
According to Tom Loy of 247 Sports, one of those potential players is 5-star EDGE Trenton Henderson.
USC Trojans Still Have A Shot With Trenton Henderson?
The talented 5-star EDGE out of Pensacola, Florida, visited the USC Trojans for an unofficial visit on April 12. It went so well that, according to Loy, He was ready to commit to USC.
However, he wanted to continue taking visits and going through the recruitment process. Because of this, the Staff had him hold off to see how things would play out.
Since that unofficial, Henderson has been to Auburn, LSU, and Michigan on official visits.
According to Loy, he now believes that both LSU and Florida are in better spots to land Henderson than USC.
Now, there is still a chance this can change, and we have not yet heard that USC is officially out on landing Henderson. According to both 247 Sports and On3, he still has an official visit scheduled with the Trojans on June 20.

That can change, as we have seen a ton of recruits change OV dates and cancel many altogether, but as of now, USC is still in the running.
While they are trending away from Henderson, they are firmly in the mix for 10th-ranked EDGE Luke Wafle. I would expect them to turn their attention a bit more to him and see if they can land a commitment from him after his official visit on June 13.
There will be plenty of EDGE talent visiting USC over the rest of June. Lincoln Riley and his staff will undoubtedly land at least one of them.
