Overview

  • Danny Lang, rated No. 53 overall and No. 7 cornerback by 247Sports, committed Wednesday night to USC over Oregon and Ohio State.
  • USC’s football account followed with a video poking Dan Lanning’s “grass is damn green in Eugene” line, closing with “Guess the grass wasn’t greener.”
  • Lang’s decision gives USC six 2027 pledges and moves the Trojans to No. 6 in On3’s team rankings, according to ClutchPoints.
  • Oregon is still recruiting Lang, who has an official visit to Eugene set for June, which keeps a potential flip in play until signing day.
  • The battle underscores a wider fight for Southern California talent, as USC also added safety Honor Fa’alave-Johnson this month while Oregon owns a four-game win streak over the Trojans and recent College Football Playoff berths.
