USC's Lincoln Riley predicted to flip 4-star DL the same day he decommits from Oregon

Is there any program hotter out on the recruiting trail than the USC Trojans? What Lincoln Riley has been able to do for the 2026 class thus far has been tremendous, as it's ranked No. 1 in the country per 247Sports.

As things stand, Riley and the Trojans hold 15 known verbal pledges for the '26 haul. Could No. 16 be on the way before we know it? On Tuesday, the Oregon Ducks received some bad news, with 4-star defensive lineman Tomuhini Topui announcing he was backing off his pledge.

After that, Topui made his way to USC's campus to watch a spring practice. Interesting timing. And now, On3's Steve Wiltfong has wasted no time in putting in his official prediction for the Trojans to end up landing his commitment. Things are moving quickly here. Is another announcement coming soon?
