Breaking down USC's big recruiting weekend of official visits (June 21-23)
USC has its third and final big recruiting weekend of June on tap with more than a dozen prospects on campus for official visits.
It's already been an interesting week for the Trojans, with two high-profile decommits from five-star defensive tackle Justus Terry and four-star defensive end Isaiah Gibson (both from Georgia), and then a Fight On emoji posted by Lincoln Riley and staff on Thursday night signaling a fresh still-unannounced commitment.
That makes three unannounced but teased commitments this month, along with four-star defensive end Hayden Lowe's commitment announcement.
USC enters the weekend No. 18 in the Rivals recruiting rankings with 11 commits (after previously having a top-5 class before the decommitments).
Here's a breakdown of the prospects who will be on campus this weekend.

Another five-star Georgia DT
Could USC replace the five-star Georgia DT it lost with another? Well, you never know, but don't expect any immediate results from Elijah Griffin's official visit. The No. 2-ranked DT in the 2025 class is only taking OVs to Miami and USC this month, along with an unofficial visit to Georgia last weekend, but he has fall trips planned for Georgia, Clemson and potentially Oregon and is likely to have a Georgia OV in December. He isn't expected to announce a commitment until Signing Day.
Griffin visited USC in the spring, so he's intrigued enough to come back for a second, longer look, but the Trojans will have to make a major impression on him and try to get him back for another unofficial visit for a gameday in the Coliseum.
