The USC Trojans are kicking off their Junior Day on campus as we speak, and there is set to be a ton of talent in Los Angeles, just as it always should be.
We released a list a few days ago of all the blue-chippers set to attend, but we just learned of new surprise visitors.
According to Steve Wiltfong of On3, 4-star quarterback Jonas Williams is on campus, as well as the number one ranked WR out of Mater Dei Chris Henry Jr. (committed to Ohio State), and his high school teammate 4-star defensive lineman Tomuhini Topui.
QB Jonas Williams, And Others, Attending USC Trojans Junior Day
The 6’1, 200-pound Illinois QB product committed to Oregon back in August, but the Trojans and Lincoln Riley have continued to pursue Williams. Riley recently visited Williams at his school in Illinois.
Williams is the 7th-ranked QB in the 2026 class, according to On3, and the 85th-ranked overall prospect.
In the same 2026 class, sits Ryder Lyons, the 3rd-ranked QB prospect and a 5-star. The Trojans have been all-in on the recruitment of Lyons and are heavily favored to land him. His brother, Walker Lyons, is a tight end on the team, and USC has ramped up their recruiting at his school of Folsom.

With this being said, it is still smart of Riley to stretch the net a bit wider than he has in years past. This past recruiting cycle, he was all in, and for much of the cycle, only offered one quarterback, Julian Lewis. We all know how that process went, and it ended up working out for the Trojans as they were able to flip local prospect Husan Longstreet.
But in this new era of NIL and the transfer portal, commitments do not hold as strong a bond as they once did, so keeping communication and recruiting open is probably the way going forward.
Today is set to be a massive day for the program, especially with the newly formed staff and front office on campus.
We will have updates throughout the day, so keep it right here at LAFB. The USC Trojans currently have the number two overall 2026 recruiting class.
