After falling out of the top 25 in early July, USC returned to the class of 2017 rankings with the additions of offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker (No. 9 OT, No. 49 overall), pass-rusher Hunter Echols (No. 9 DE, No. 89 overall) and athlete Juwan Burgess (No. 18 ATH, No. 238 overall). Here's what ESPN National Recruiting Analyst Craig Haubert has to say about the resurgent Trojans:
"The big riser this week was USC, which charged into the top 25 after landing three ESPN 300 prospects. Among the Trojans' commitments was versatile offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker and disruptive pass-rusher Hunter Echols, both of which rank among the top 10 at their respective position." -- Haubert
