Dennis Tua’one is a 6-1, 185 pound wide receiver out of Provo, Utah. He is rated as a four-star recruit and ranked as the No. 11 wide receiver in the 2028 recruiting class per 247Sports Compsite rankings. 

Tua’one recently spoke to Greg Biggins of Rivals about where he stands in his recruitment process. He listed his upcoming visits coming in June. 

Tua'one will be at Miami on June 7, Arizona State on June 8, USC on June 11, and Oregon on June 17. The Trojans offered Tua’one back in late March of 2026. Tua’one called this offer a “big” one. 

“I feel really good about USC, this is a big offer for sure,” Tua’one said. “USC has great tradition, plus the way they develop guys and the energy around the program all stands out to me…They’re definitely in the mix for me and I have a lot of interest.”

As a sophomore for Timview High School in 2025-26, Tua’one hauled in 34 receptions for 641 yards and five touchdowns. He also had 58 carries for 223 yards and five touchdowns. 

USC’s Success With Wide Receivers

If Tua’one ends up playing wide receiver in college, USC is a good place to be. The Trojans have consistently been able to develop wideouts, even in their down years as a team. The wide receiver position has not been lacking. In addition to having success at USC, a lot of these wide outs have been able to translate that success to the next level. 

Just over the past few seasons, a handful of former USC wideouts have made a name for themselves in the NFL such as Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Detroit Lions, Drake London of the Atlanta Falcons, Jordan Addison of the Minnesota Vikings, and Michael Pittman Jr. of the Indianapolis Colts. 

This past season for USC, wide receiver Makai Lemon has one of the best seasons for a USC wideout in program history. Lemon finished top 10 in the country in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns. He won the 2025 Fred Biletnikoff Award for being the most outstanding wide receiver in all of college football.

A few months later, Lemon was selected No. 20 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles passing attack lacked during the 2025 season and they hope that Lemon will be able to help change that.

In addition to Lemon, USC also got major contributions from wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane in 2025. Lane ended up being selected with the No. 80 overall pick in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens. 

Being a highly touted recruit at receiver and going to USC has been proven to pay off.
