Top-10 2025 safety from Florida, Hylton Stubbs, becomes USC’s fourth commit for March 24

USC gets more help in the secondary on a huge day of recruiting.

What a haul for USC, and it was just one day. Hylton Stubbs, a 6-foot-1, 180-pound four-star safety, is a legitimate top-10 safety in the 2025 Class. 247Sports (No. 10) and On3 (No. 6) have Stubbs as a top-10 prospect on the board.

Scouts praise his size and football IQ. He will need to bulk up, but if this offseason taught us anything, one winter with Bennie Wylie and Rachel Suba should fix that.

Stubbs echoes a familiar message being vocalized by USC recruits: development.

“I love what the coaches are doing. I love the way they’re sending kids to the league. They have a top safety going to the league,” he said in an interview with 247Sports.

This commitment follows commitments from Justus Terry (a flip from Georgia), Isaiah Gibson, and Dominick Kelly. The Trojans have gotten a lot of work done, and they’re telling everyone that the days of weak defenses and subpar attention to detail on that side of the ball are over.
