The USC Trojans are cooking right now. The team is 2-0 and heads to the Big House this weekend to face the Michigan Wolverines. The program has more hype, but also more confidence than we have seen in quite some time.
Recruits are taking notice.
After a great visit to USC back in June, there was a lot of chatter that Floyd Boucard would commit to USC. He had great things to say about the program and Coach Henderson, and according to Scott Schrader of WeAreSC.com, could potentially have a private tutor in Aaron Donald.
…former Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald personally call him during the trip and offer to train him if Boucard ends up in Los Angeles.
However, a week after his official visit to SC, he visited Oklahoma, and after a month of thinking things over, he committed to the Sooners in July.
USC Trojans Named Favorite To Land Floyd Boucard
With three weeks elapsed in the College Football season, it seems that Boucard has changed his mind. On Monday he decommitted from Oklahoma and re-opened his recruitment.
Plenty of teams will make a push for the 6’2.5, 315-pound defensive lineman, including Miami and Florida among others, but the new sense is that USC is the front-runner.
Schrader even went so far as to give the Trojans a crystal ball to land Floyd Boucard.

The USC Trojans currently have 19 commits in the 2025 class, but no commitments (yet) from an interior defensive lineman. This makes the idea of Boucard committing to the Cardinal and Gold even more important.
There are plenty more defensive line recruits that SC is going after (Elijah Griffin and Jahkeem Stewart who is rumored to re-classify to 2025), including some of the top prospects in the nation, but landing Boucard would certainly ramp the momentum up even more.
Boucard is a current 3-star recruit, according to On3, but many in the industry expect his rating to move to a 4-star by the end of the fall season.
