New commit Isaiah Rubin could thrive in the USC secondary with a good defensive coordinator

With a new defensive coordinator, #USC’s incoming defensive recruits could shine.

Isaiah Rubin, a rising four-star cornerback from Los Alamitos High School, committed to USC last week.

He is considered to be the No. 36 cornerback prospect in the Class of 2024 and the No. 38 player in the state of California, according to 247Sports composite.

Standing at 6-foot-1, 170 pounds, Rubin will bring speed and athleticism to USC’s secondary.

Rubin’s final four was comprised of the Trojans and three other Pac-12 contenders: Utah, Colorado and Oregon.

Rubin spoke about why he chose the Trojans:

“My and my pops grew up big USC fans,” he told On3. “I grew up in Long Beach, then moved to Las Vegas before coming back to southern California for my senior year. I grew up following USC, cheering for them and I still watch Reggie Bush videos before games. My pop went to USC games, and I went with him. This commitment is something for him, too.”

The Southern California native joins coach Lincoln Riley and the Trojans’ Top 25 class in the 2024 team rankings. He now joins top prospects Xavier Jordan (a receiver) and four-star interior offensive lineman Jason Zandamela to headline the class.

Look out for the future duo of Isaiah Rubin and Marcelleus Williams, another four star out of St. John Bosco, in the near future.

Oklahoma fans were right about Lincoln Riley, at least for this specific season.

USC assistants need to be coaching for their jobs.

Lincoln Riley did not assemble an elite 2023 roster, which surprised us and a lot of other observers.

Is USC ready to win in 2024 with Miller Moss or Malachi Nelson at quarterback? Lincoln Riley has to be honest about how he answers that question.

Brent Venables is coaching Oklahoma far better this year than Lincoln Riley is coaching USC. It’s up to Riley to change that reality.
