2024 four-star defensive back Isaiah Rubin commits to USC

The Trojans get their first 2024 pickup since early July.

USC hasn’t been doing a lot of winning lately. The Trojans hope to beat Utah on Saturday. One day before facing the Utes, they got a sorely-needed win on the recruiting trail.

Four-star 2024 defensive back Isaiah Rubin, from Los Alamitos High School, stayed home in Southern California and committed to USC. It’s the first win on the recruiting trail in the 2024 cycle for the Trojans since early July.

Donte Williams landed this recruit at a position of need for the Trojans, whose recent struggles on offense magnify the need for more defensive reinforcements in the rugged Big Ten Conference when they join the league next year.
