Huge official visit weekend for USC football recruiting plus House settlement

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio talking about what was a massive weekend for Trojan football recruiting with some of the top prospects from across the country descending on Los Angeles to see what USC has to offer. We will get an update on one of the events from Connor, who, along with Chris Trevino, attended a Saturday night dinner in downtown Los Angeles where the Trojan coaching staff was hosting all of their official visitors. Allowing media to attend a recruiting event is a new phenomena and it gave us a rare look behind the curtain of the USC official visit festivities. The Trojans also picked up another commitment this week, adding to the No. 1 recruiting class for the 2026 cycle. Duluth (Ga.) three-star cornerback Peyton Dyer is the 28th commitment for USC's No. 1 recruiting class and the fifth cornerback commit. Ryan and Connor also talk about the paradigm shift in college football following the ratification of the House Settlement that allows for back NIL pay to former student athletes, limits roster sizes for all sports, allows athletic departments to share revenue with student athletes directly and creates the College Sports Commission to enforce these new "real NIL" rules. Both Ryan and Connor feel that USC is well positioned heading into this new era of college athletics, but there are certainly unchartered waters ahead. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE for 60% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!
