Once again, USC football's quarterback room named nation's best

For the second time this offseason, USC's quarterback room has been named the best in college football

For the second time this offseason, USC's quarterback room has been named the best in college football. 

Max Chadwick of Pro Football Focus wrote of the Trojans' QB's:

The best quarterback room in the country starts with the best quarterback in the country. Caleb Williams is the reigning Heisman Trophy winner and could be mentioned in the same breath as previous elite quarterback prospects, such as Andrew Luck and Trevor Lawrence once the 2024 NFL Draft rolls around. If disaster was to strike the Trojans, redshirt sophomore Miller Moss was a former top-100 recruit and completed 86% of his passes in reserve duty last season. Five-star true freshman Malachi Nelson also begins his collegiate career this season and looks like the future of the program.

LSU, Texas, Ole Miss and Oregon round out the top five QB rooms. 

WHO'S COMMITTED TO USC IN JUNE?

USC hosted 12 official visitors the first weekend of June and the Trojans staff has landed seven commitments from that group so far.

Three-star Cherry Creek (Englewood, Colo.) offensive lineman Hayden Treter was the first player who visited to give a verbal to the Trojans. He announced his decision on June 4. Later that day, four-star Clearwater (Fla.) safety Jarvis Boatwright also picked USC.

A day later, four-star Serra (Gardena, Calif.) cornerback Dakoda Fields and four-star Booker T. Washington (Atlanta) defensive end Kameryn Fountain committed, but USC still wasn't done. The Trojans secured a verbal pledge from four-star Central Catholic (Modesto, Calif.) offensive lineman Manasse Itete later that day too.

In the last three weeks, four-star Cheshire Academy (Conn.) linebacker Elijah Newby and four-star Hiram (Ga.) tight end Walter Matthews committed.

Four-star St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.) cornerback Marcelles Williams and four-star Clearwater Academy (Fla.) offensive lineman Jason Zandamella both committed last week.

USC is expected to land another commitment on Monday too
