*Editor Update. We can now confirm that the USC Trojans have indeed flipped Alex Graham from Colorado. Another big signing for the Trojans as they begin rebuilding their defensive backfield.
*Original Story
We are less than 24 hours away from the College Football early signing period opening up and the USC Trojans and Lincoln Riley are predicted to finish strong, specifically on the defensive side of the ball.
I’m not sure I would call the Colorado Buffaloes a “rival” of the Trojans, but it is kind of heading that way in terms of recruiting and the fanbases.
Former USC commits Julian Lewis and Carde Smith both de-committed and then committed to the Buffs. The Trojans were able to flip Husan Longstreet so all felt good and fair, but the Colorado fanbase made sure to let the Trojan faithful know about their flips constantly on social media.

Well, a new prediction has come in, and it looks like the Trojans and DB Coach Doug Belk will be flipping a Buffalo over to the USC side.
USC Trojans Predicted To Flip DB Alex Graham From Deion Sanders
Both 247 Sports and On3 have logged expert predictions for USC to flip 4-star DB Alex Graham.
Graham took an official visit to USC in June but has been committed to the Buffs since April, so this would be a big win for Coach Belk. The 6’0, 180-pound CB out of Detroit, Michigan is the 45th-ranked CB in the 2025 Class, according to On3, and 247 Sports has him ranked as the 36th-best.
The Trojans currently only have one CB (two Safeties) in their 2025 Class and will be losing every starter from this past season due to NFL Draft eligibility, so landing Graham is almost essential.
I do expect USC to push for at least one more CB in the class, and obviously, they will add some players with playing experience through the transfer portal.
Landing Graham would be a great start and we should have confirmation on December 4th.
