Dennis Tua’one spoke to Greg Biggins of Rivals and revealed six game day visits he has for the upcoming college football season. Here are the six schools and dates. 

Sept. 5 at Arizona State Sun Devils
Oct. 3 at USC. Trojans
Oct. 17 at BYU Cougars
Oct. 24 at Miami Hurricanes
Nov. 1 at Utah Utes
Nov. 28 at Oregon Ducks 

The USC game that Tua’one will be in town for on Oct. 3 is against the Washington Huskies at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. He has been to USC before and coach Lincoln Riley’s strong track record of developing wideouts is appealing to Tua’one. 

“I’m excited to see all the schools on a game day weekend and experience what the atmosphere is like in that setting,” Tua’one said to Biggins. “USC’s track record for developing receivers is really strong so I have a high interest for sure. I had a great visit there over the summer and really enjoyed working with the coaches.”

In this past NFL Draft, two former USC wide receivers were selected: Makai Lemon and Ja’Kobi Lane. These two were the top two receiving targets for Riley’s offense last season. In 2025, Lemon was named the Biletnikoff Award winner while Lane was named Third-team All-Big Ten.

Lemon was selected No. 20 overall by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2026 NFL Draft while Lane was taken No. 80 overall in the third round by the Baltimore Ravens.
