The USC Trojans have secured a major commitment as four-star linebacker Madden Faraimo, one of the top recruits in the 2024 class, has officially chosen USC over Arizona State, Nebraska, and Clemson. The highly-touted linebacker from San Juan Capistrano, California, brings a wealth of talent and potential to USC’s already impressive recruiting class.
Faraimo, ranked No. 96 in the ESPN 300 and the 8th-best linebacker prospect according to On3’s Industry Ranking, had long been a coveted recruit. His final decision to commit to the Trojans adds to the growing anticipation around USC’s future as they continue to build a strong defense under head coach Lincoln Riley.
Despite considering other top programs, including Notre Dame, Texas, and Washington, Faraimo ultimately felt a strong connection to USC. His ties to the program and its proximity to his family in Southern California played a pivotal role in his decision. The linebacker has a deep family history with USC, which made the Trojans a natural fit for his next step.
While Faraimo initially planned to make his commitment before the start of his senior season, he took his time to carefully evaluate his options. His decision to join USC comes after a thorough recruitment process and visits to several top schools. With his commitment, the Trojans bolster their defensive depth and continue to solidify their reputation as a powerhouse in college football recruiting.
Faraimo’s commitment marks a significant victory for USC in a competitive recruiting landscape, and his presence on the field will be closely watched as he develops into a key player for the Trojans in the coming years.
