Four-star USC wide receiver pledge Jerome Myles has decommitted from the Trojans, he announced on social media Sunday night.
Myles, a 6-foot-3, 220-pound pass catcher from Draper, Utah, is ESPN's No. 6 wide receiver and the No. 33 overall prospect in the 2025 ESPN 300. Committed to USC since September, Myles was the highest-ranked member of the Trojans' 2025 class, which has now seen nine ESPN 300 recruits decommit from the program in the 2025 recruiting cycle.
"After talking with my family and god I've decided to decommit from the University of Southern California please respect my decision," Myles wrote in an Instagram story Sunday night.
Myles' decommitment comes one day after he visited Texas A&M for the Aggies' Week 14 game against Texas. Texas A&M was a runner-up for his pledge when Myles initially committed to USC on Sept. 18, and Saturday marked his second trip to see the Aggies this fall.
Myles battled injuries in each of final two seasons at Corner Canyon High School in Draper, and his USC exit continues what has been a turbulent recruiting cycle for coach Lincoln Riley and the Trojans.
Since June 1, USC has lost pledges from six ESPN 300 prospects, headlined by three five-star departures in quarterback Julian Lewis (No. 2 in the ESPN 300), defensive tackle Justus Terry (No. 7) and defensive end Isaiah Gibson (No. 19). Upon Myles' departure, the Trojans now hold just seven ESPN 300 pledges in the 2025 class before the three-day early signing period opens on Wednesday, led by four-star quarterback Husan Longstreet (No. 47 in the ESPN 300), who committed to the Trojans on Nov. 17.
