Elite 2025 WR Andrew Marsh an early top target for Lincoln Riley

This point in the year is a good time to start truly identifying some of the top targets in next years cycle. USC has offered a decent number of class of 2025 prospects, and there a few we can see are among the top choices on the board. One of these is Fulshear (Texas) Katy Jordan four-star wide receiver Andrew Marsh.

Marsh, the No. 3 ranked wide receiver in the On300, has visited USC twice this offseason, once in April and again in June.

On his most recent visit, Marsh had a multi-hour sitdown with Lincoln Riley, getting the full pitch of USC’s program.

That conversation and visit has put USC firmly in the mix for one of the nation’s best.

What Marsh had to say about USC

“They’re showing me that they really want me and they’re willing to put in the effort to get me there,” Marsh told On3. “They always have good quarterbacks coming in, for sure, so that’s a really great thing to have in their pocket.”

“I had a really good three-hour conversation,” he continued, on his sitdown with Trojans HC Lincoln Riley along with his mother. “I got to know him really well and learn a lot about him, how he coaches, and his style. I really like it’s family-oriented over there. Family is huge for me, and at the end of the day it’s what I fall back on … Those are my people, so for him to take his time to make sure she’s good and everyone else is good, to take that family approach, that says something — that I’m a big priority for them and they really want me there.”

Others in contention

You can expect Lincoln Riley and USC to be after Marsh for the entirety of the 2025 cycle, but there will be heavy competition.

Regional powers such as Texas, Texas A&M, LSU, Oklahoma, and others will be heavy factors in his recruitment. Schools Michigan and Ohio State are surely going to be involved in the long run as well.

USC’s 2025 class

USC holds one commitment in the 2025 class in Oxford (Ala.) Thompson four-star safety Anquon Fegans.

Fegans is the No. 18 overall prospect and No. 2 safety in the 2025 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also ranked as the No. 4 player in Alabama.

USC is not officially ranked in the 2025 Industry Ranking Football Team Recruiting Rankings due to lack of commitments, but already has the third highest recruiting score with just Fegans in the class. The Trojans are behind only Georgia and Alabama.

USC currently sits at No. 1 in the 2025 class in average prospect rating with an average of 95.01. Coming in at second place is Ohio State with an average rating of 94.05.
