Increased optimism of Peyton Houston committing to USC bolsters future QB room

There is a growing belief that Peyton Houston will soon make his commitment to USC official. Perhaps in something of a telling sign, the class of 2027 quarterback was present during Ethan 'Boobie' Feaster's announcement. The wide receiver pledged himself to the Trojans, and the pair have been seen working out together.

Not that the two could still end up in two different places, but the tea leaves suggest that there is a lot of momentum behind Houston coming to Los Angeles.

For a while now, the impact and potential of the talented quarterback's desire to play and be coached by coach Lincoln Riley appear to be too much to pass up. That is entirely understandable. The Trojan HC simply has the best track record of getting players at that position ready to play at the next level.

Add that USC is looking markedly improved across multiple facets, and there are far more reasons for a top QB prospect to consider joining the Cardinal and Gold than otherwise.

Various sites and 'experts' have now logged a prediction for Houston to make his commitment to USC official soon. Although a lot can change in the current landscape, particularly with the list of schools that are also interested in Houston's services, at this point, it appears that the Trojans are comfortably in the driver's seat to add the young QB to their top 2027 recruiting class.

Reasonable reason for optimism for eventual USC decision

It is very likely that the commitment of Feaster will help to finalize the eventual announcement. It is also worth mentioning that, from all accounts that have come from Houston, his relationship with the Trojan staff is exceptional at this point, and he has spoken glowingly about the program and the possibilities that would exist as a quarterback at USC.

Again, nothing is official as of yet. At this point, however, a decision from Houston of his going anywhere but USC would come as something of a surprise.
