Forecasting the 2024 USC Offensive Line Class

USC really scored big last recruiting cycle with an extremely impressive offensive line class. In 2023 the Trojans signed Micah Banuelos, Tobias Raymond, Amos Talalele, Elijah Paige and Alani Noa. Plus Josh Henson and USC added three top shelf OL transfers in Jarrett Kingston, Emmanuel Pregnon and Michael Tarquin.

Although USC had just a handful of commits and zero offensive line pledges prior to June, the Trojans now have commitments from Hayden Treter, Jason Zandamela, Manasse Itete and the latest addition is Makai Saina.

The recruiting surge Lincoln Riley and staff’s orchestrated in June has led to the Trojans soaring from the No. 50 something ranked recruiting class to No. 5.

So, ho’s Left on the Offensive Line Board? It’s an exceptionally short list of uncommitted OL targets the Trojans are pursuing, so it won’t take long for forecast the final class today.

Four-Star Vancouver (WA) OL Fox Crader committed to Oregon last November, but that was Adrian Klemm was still the offensive line coach for the Ducks. Crader has taken multiple school visits this Winter and Spring, including two visits to USC.

While it’s not known what USC’s chances are at this time, we should know something in the near future. If USC doesn’t get Crader, Josh Henson will be on the lookout this season to fill an offensive tackle spot.
