USC Lands 4-Star WR Roye Oliver III as First Commit in 2028 Class

Overview

• Roye Oliver III, a Hamilton High School wideout from Chandler, Arizona, committed to USC on Friday, becoming the Trojans’ first 2028 pledge.
• Oliver is rated No. 43 overall and No. 9 at wide receiver in the 247Sports Composite, and he is ranked No. 2 among Arizona prospects.
• USC pursued him for more than a year after offering in January 2025 and hosted multiple visits, including one earlier in March, with his commitment first reported by Rivals’ Hayes Fawcett.
• He earned national honors with 92 catches for 1,839 yards as a sophomore, though outlets list either 29 or 31 touchdowns, and he was a MaxPreps Freshman All-American with 43 receptions for 861 yards and 11 scores.
• The commitment fits a recent pattern under Riley, as USC signed four blue-chip receivers in 2026 and already holds 2027 pledges from Quentin Hale and Eli Woodard.
