USC 2026 class adds yet another recruit
For the second day in a row, USC football added a new commit to its already loaded 2026 recruiting class. On Monday, the Trojans picked up a commitment Taylor Johnson, a three-star linebacker from San Bernadino, California.
Here is what 247Sports had to say about Johnson:
“The 6-foot-1 Johnson joins the linebacker mix with 6-foot-4 five-star prospect Xavier Griffin and the 6-foot-3 Scott. Scott was initially listed as an edge rusher while Griffin could also end up playing on the edge as well. Taylor projects as a true middle linebacker, capable of playing either MIKE or WILL as the next level. Johnson was ultra-productive as a junior with 174 total tackles, nine tackles for a loss (four sacks) and three passes defended.”
Johnson is USC’s 28th commit in its top-ranked 2026 recruiting class. With new general manager Chad Bowden at the helm, it seems apparent that the Trojans plan to load up in this cycle after missing out on numerous key targets in years past. Now, it will be up to Lincoln Riley to win on the field this fall in order to ensure that the class remains intact.
