Former star Notre Dame commit gives pledge to USC

Notre Dame received bad news late last week when Philip Riley, Jr. announced he was no longer committed. That news only got worse on Monday.

Notre Dame received tough news last week in regards to their future when defensive back in the 2021 recruiting class, Philip Riley, Jr. announced that he was no longer committed to the Fighting Irish.

If that news could manage to get worse, it certainly found it’s way how on Monday when Riley announced he’s now committed to USC.

Riley is graded a four-star prospect by all of the major recruiting outlets and gives the Trojans a boost in their already solid class.

Riley becomes the 19th commitment in the 2021 class for USC.  Rivals currently ranks the USC class as the fifth best in the nation while 247Sports puts them eighth.
