USC 4-star running back commit Brandon Campbell heralded more good news on the way for the Trojans on Friday, announcing in a tweet that the program has another commitment in the works.

Campbell, who joined the Trojan Talk podcast this week to discuss his transition from recruit to recruiter, has been working on top targets in conjunction with the coaching staff and is fully in the loop on the all the latest developments.

So when he posts this on Twitter, it's usually the first tip that something notable is on the horizon.

USC presently has the No. 6-ranked recruiting class nationally with 10 commitments, including seven 4-star prospects and five Rivals250 prospects.

The new defensive staff has made a particularly strong statement so far in landing 4-star safeties Anthony Beavers and Calen Bullock and 3-star safety Xamarion Gordon (who will probably end up a 4-star as well). There's also buzz that more defensive additions are on the way for the class.

As for the latest on what we're hearing about the commitment Campbell teased and when to expect it, check out our thread over on the Trojan Talk message board.

4-star OT Bram Walden picks Oregon over USC

While the Trojans have been winning some major recruiting battles of late, they can't win them all, and they lost one to Oregon on Friday as 4-star OT Bram Walden (Saguaro HS/Scottsdale, Ariz.) committed to the Ducks.

USC was a finalist for Walden and made a strong impression on him this spring, but in the end it wasn't enough. That said, the Trojans are trying to return the favor while working hard on fellow 4-star OT Joshua Simmons (Helix HS/San Diego), who de-committed from Oregon on March 31.

Here's the intel we got from Simmons a couple weeks ago.

4-star DT KaTron Evans announcing his decision Saturday

KaTron Evans, the 4-star DT from Baltimore, Md., is set to announce his decision on Saturday.

USC defensive line coach Vic So'oto, who used to recruit Maryland heavily while at UVA, made a strong push for Evans.

What we've heard from our sources is that the Trojans might have had a real shot if they could have gotten Evans on campus for a visit, but this national shutdown made that impossible. The expectation is that Tennessee is the leader here, but there could always be a surprise.
