The Targets

USC offered Barlow just days before the start of the season. He's a TCU commit from Texas so the Trojans will have some work to do.


USC offered a scholarship to Bernard in the summer of 2017 after an impressive showing at a USC camp. He visited the campus a few times since that offer and got in contact with Tim Drevno after he joined the USC staff. But it doesn’t seem like there was a huge push for Bernard. He committed to Utah in the middle of August.


USC offered a scholarship to Bivens in October of 2017 and remained involved for him for quite sometime. Bivens even placed USC on his top 6 back in March of this year. But he stopped considering USC and doesn’t have plans to visit anymore.


Charbonnet is arguably the best tailback in Southern California and was a longtime USC target before he committed to Michigan. It would be a shock to those around him if he flipped his commitment after making it in June.


USC extended a scholarship to Christon in February and the tailback has been a regular on USC’s campus ever since. He’s certainly someone for USC fans to watch. Everyone I’ve talked to expects him to eventually commit to USC.


Cook flirted with the idea of going to USC after receiving a scholarship offer earlier this year. He visited USC in March and placed the Trojans in his top 10 in June. But he’s now committed to Missouri and it would be a huge surprise if he flipped to USC.


USC extended a scholarship offer to Crouch but he has shown no interest and is likely to attend school much closer to his home state of North Carolina.


Davis received a scholarship from Washington in the summer of 2017 and committed to the Huskies in January. USC came through with a scholarship offer at the end of May. So while Davis has always liked USC, the coaching staff is certainly playing catch up to Washington. Davis did visit USC over the summer and this seems like a two team race between the Huskies and the Trojans. Davis has told TrojanSports.com that he would be interested in UCLA if the Bruins got involved as well.


Davis was considering a visit USC short after he received a scholarship offer but it doesn’t seem like that’s the plan anymore. USC offered him a scholarship after he had decided on Wisconsin and it would be a surprised if he flipped anyway.


Davis has always maintained that he wants to visit USC. The only issue is he’s a solid LSU commit in LSU’s backyard. It would shock everyone if he flipped to USC.


Dollars was offered a scholarship by USC in January and had always talked up the Trojans as one of his favorite options. But in May, he chose Oregon over USC and committed to the Ducks. He did perform at a USC camp over the summer but it would be a surprise if he changed his commitment.


Mellusi earned a scholarship offer from USC back in may of 2017 but the two parties didn’t get much beyond that point. Mellusi never showed much interest in USC and is now committed to Clemson.


USC offered Major a scholarship in February and actually made his top 7 just a few months later. But he’s from Oklahoma and held a scholarship offer from the Sooners when that list was released. To no one’s surprise, Major eventually committed to Oklahoma.
