Ahead of its first-ever Big Ten matchup this week, USC received major recruiting news.
Five-star wide receiver from Draper (Utah) Corner Canyon committed to the Trojans during a live announcement on the 247Sports YouTube channel and CBS Sports HQ. This commitment is a significant boost for coach Lincoln Riley and his staff as they gear up for the early signing period in two months.
Myles shared his decision-making process with 247Sports, explaining, “My family and I weighed the pros and cons, and USC had the most pros and the fewest cons. When you look closely at what USC offers both on and off the field—the tradition, the history of producing NFL players at my position—it was the best choice for me.
“It really came down to USC and Utah. I had a strong connection with USC’s staff and loved my official visit. Even though their offer came late this summer, they quickly caught up, and we had consistent communication, including FaceTime calls with coach Riley. It’s Los Angeles, it’s the Big Ten, and I can’t wait to wear that jersey.”
Who Else Was in the Mix?
Utah and Texas A&M were the other finalists for Myles. He had previously committed to Ole Miss in April but withdrew that commitment a few months later. After official visits to Texas A&M and Utah in June, USC entered the race with an offer in July and solidified Myles’ commitment during his official visit to LA in early September.
Where Jerome Myles Ranks as a Recruit
Myles is ranked No. 30 nationally, No. 5 among wide receivers, and the top player in Utah for the 2025 class, according to 247Sports. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound receiver is the highest-rated wideout from Utah since Puka Nacua, who was the nation’s No. 48 prospect in the 2019 class.
How Jerome Myles Fits with USC
Myles demonstrated his speed by breaking a 43-year-old state track record with a 10.36-second 100-meter dash in his first year running track. His combination of size and speed will make him a difficult matchup for opposing defenses.
“The receiver development at USC is unmatched, and they always have a top-tier quarterback to get the ball to their playmakers,” Myles said. “The coaches think I’ll mostly play outside but could also move to the slot in certain situations. They believe I can contribute right away, which was important to me.”
What We Think About Jerome Myles
247Sports national scouting analyst Greg Biggins praised Myles’ long-term potential, noting that his track speed translates well to football.
“He’s not just fast, his speed shows up on the field, where he routinely beats corners even when they’re giving him space,” Biggins wrote. “He adjusts to the ball well, can change speeds, and knows how to set up defenders. He has a wide catch radius, makes contested catches, and has strong hands to secure passes through contact.”
