USC’s loss to Notre Dame wasn’t the only defeat that the Trojans suffered over the weekend. On Sunday, the Trojans saw things get worse, as five-star wide receiver Jerome Myles decommitted from USC football. Myles then flipped to Texas A&M on Wednesday as the early signing period began.
The West Jordan, Utah, product had been committed to USC since September. On3 Consensus ranks Myles as the No. 24 overall player and the No. 4 wide receiver in the class of 2025.
Myles was not expected to sign during this week’s early signing period, so the Trojans still have a shot with him. However, Texas A&M became the new leader to land the talented wideout and was able to close the sale.
With the loss of Myles, USC’s 2025 recruiting class fell to 17th in the country, per On3’s rankings. The Trojans also dropped to fifth place in the Big Ten, behind Ohio State, Oregon, Michigan, and Penn State.
College football’s early signing period, the earliest dates when high school recruits can sign with schools, officially began on Wednesday. USC signees are being announced left and right, and we will see how the dust settles when Wednesday ends.
