USC receives multiple predictions to flip elite WR prospect in signing day surprise

The USC Trojans have received multiple predictions from On3 and Rivals recruiting analysts indicating a potential flip of elite wide receiver prospect Kayden Dixon-Wyatt. Adam Gormey, Greg Biggins, and Steve Wiltfong each projected with 60% confidence that Dixon-Wyatt will switch his commitment to the Trojans. The highly regarded pass catcher is currently committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Dixon-Wyatt, a standout at Mater Dei High School in Southern California, has excelled both on and off the field. The composite four-star receiver amassed over 35 scholarship offers during his prep career and was honored with a selection to the Navy All-American Game. Ranked as the sixth-best wide receiver nationally by 247Sports, he trails only his teammate Chris Henry Jr. in the state of California.

Dixon-Wyatt has been a key offensive contributor for Mater Dei since he first set foot on campus at the powerhouse program. Over his career, he amassed more than 1,900 receiving yards and recorded 19 touchdowns. His junior and senior seasons were identical, each with 693 receiving yards, though he set a new personal best in touchdowns during his final season with eight.

With this news breaking right before national signing day, if USC pulls off flipping Dixon-Wyatt, they’ll almost definitely secure the top spot in the 2026 recruiting rankings.
