USC and Lincoln Riley<\/b> are in the hunt for a second consecutive No. 1 transfer class.<\/p>\n
The Trojans have been on a hot run of transfer pickups over the last couple of weeks, culminating with the signing of former five-star prospect and Texas A&M defensive line transfer Anthony Lucas<\/b> on Wednesday to move USC to the No. 2 classes in the country.<\/p>\n
UPDATE:<\/strong> The Trojan up one spot further after Colorado moved a transfer decommitment. <\/p>\n The new Thursday rankings for Lucas and Purdue defensive lineman Jack Sullivan<\/b><\/b> springboarded the Trojans up from No. 6 in the nation to the second spot, now with 72.27 points. The No. 2 spot was held by Colorado and its 21 commitments, but that dropped to 20 on Thursday evening. Florida State holds the No. 1 class with nine commitments and 74.99 points.<\/p>\n Sullivan earned a one-star bump from his high school rating to a four-star transfer with a 0.9000 rating; Sullivan is not currently among the top transfer prospects. Lucas also earned a four-star ranking, a 0.9300 rating and the No. 19 overall position among the top 247Sports Transfer rankings. Lucas it the highest-rated signee in USC’s class.<\/p>\n USC now boasts the No. 9 overall class in the 247Sports rankings, which factors in the high school and transfer classes. The Trojans finished with the No. 6 overall classes in 2022.<\/p>\n Overall, the Trojans boast two transfers in the Top 25 prospects between Lucas and the former Arizona wide receiver Dorian Singer<\/b>, the No. 21 overall prospect and the No. 3 wide receivers. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Singer broke out in 2022 with 66 receptions for 1,105 yards and six scores in 12 games with 11 starts; his 1,105 receiving yards led the conference while his 66 receptions were sixth. The sophomore was named Associated Press first-team All-Pac-12 and second-team All-Pac-12 for his efforts<\/span><\/p>\n The Trojans have signed four prospects among the Top 50 transfer recruits along with Arizona cornerback Christian Roland Wallace<\/b>, no. 35 overall, and South Carolina running back MarShawn Lloyd<\/b>, no. 39 overalls. Oklahoma State linebacker transfer Mason Cobb<\/b> is just outside the Top 50 as the No. 54 overall transfers.<\/p>\n The rest of USC’s ranked players are linemen: Arizona defensive tackle transfer Kyon Barrs<\/b>Florida offensive tackle transfer Michael Tarquin<\/b> and Washington State offensive lineman transfer Jarrett Kingston<\/b>. Barrs is the No. 119 overall transfer followed by Tarquin at No. 152 overalls. The former left tackle and guard starter Kingston, who earned a three-star transfer rating, rounded out the group at No. 166 overalls.<\/p>\n Riley and the Trojans finished with the No. 1 transfer class in 2022 with 20 transfer signees. A big chunk of that group’s points come from the additions of five-star transfer Caleb Williams, the No. 1 overall prospect, and 2021 Biletnikoff winner Jordan Addison<\/b>. That class finished with 95.10 points, the only class with +90 points.<\/p>\n USC’s 2023 class actually has a higher prospect average of 90.6 to 90.0 from last cycle. Seven of USC’s 20 signees last year carried a four- or five-star rating; six of USC’s 11-man class in 2023 are four-star prospects.<\/p>\n The Trojans are far from done in the transfer market, still in the hunt for at least one more offensive lineman and multiple defensive linemen. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" USC and Lincoln Riley are in the hunt for a second consecutive No. 1 transfer class.
