The Trojans have landed Saniyah Hall, the top recruit in the 2026 class and a 6’2” combo guard from Ohio, who picked USC over rival UCLA. After official visits to both schools, the high-scoring guard decided to join USC, keeping the program’s recruiting momentum alive.
This marks the third consecutive year USC has secured the nation’s top recruit. Head coach Lindsay Gottlieb previously locked in Jazzy Davidson, a 6’1” dynamic and versatile player who was the No. 1 overall prospect in the 2025 class.
Adding to the excitement, a potential return of JuJu Watkins, the number one player out of the 2023 class, by the 2026–27 season could give USC one of the most formidable backcourts in recent history.
