Five-Star Phoenix (AZ) TE\u00a0Duce Robinson\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>has been one of the Top Priority USC Targets for the class of 2023 since early in the process. And while his relationship with\u00a0Malachi Nelson<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0Makai Lemon<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0Zach Branch<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Lincoln Riley<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0were vital, his relationship with USC OT and former Pinnacle teammate Elijah Paige<\/a><\/strong> was also significant. <\/p>\n

On Thursday evening, Robinson announced his commitment to USC. <\/p>\n

He chose the Trojans over Georgia and Texas.<\/p>\n

A post shared by Duce Robinson (@duceyf)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Robinson is the third five-star commitment in USC\u2019s 2023 recruiting class. He joins Branch and Nelson, who both finished as Five-Star Plus+ prospects. Robinson is the nation\u2019s No. 23 overall prospect and No. 1 tight end in the 2023 On3 Industry Rankings<\/a>. The 6-foot-6, 225-pound prospect is the second tight end headed to USC in this class, joining three-star Kade Eldridge<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Potential impact of commitment on 5-Star 2024 QB Dylan Raiola<\/h2>\n

Robinson and Dylan Raiola<\/a><\/strong> have known each other for several years and Raiola trains with Robinson\u2019s father Dominic Robinson. In fact, at one time Raiola planned on playing for Robinson\u2019s Club Baseball team. Unlike Duce, Raiola decided to focus on football and no longer plays baseball.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think one of the reasons Duce and Dylan get along so well is they\u2019re a lot alike,\u201d Dominic Robinson said earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Dominic Robinson is originally from Diamond Bar (CA) and played football at Florida St. when\u00a0Kirby Smart<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0was a Graduate Assistant for\u00a0Bobby Bowden<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On3 Scouting Report via Charles Power<\/h2>\n

Duce Robinson adds a fifth star, moving up to No. 21 overall in On3\u2019s updated rankings. The Phoenix Pinnacle standout has long-been ranked as the cycle\u2019s top tight end prospect and continued to look the part as a senior. The 6-foot-6, 220-pounder had a big final prep campaign, catching 59 passes for 1,172 yards and 10 touchdowns. Robinson\u2019s movement skills both within the route and after the catch paired with his upside in contested catch situations make him the clear top tight end prospect in the cycle, in our opinion.<\/p>\n
