As it turns out, the addition of Purdue offensive line transfer DJ Wingfield was not the only commitment USC football landed this weekend.

On Sunday, USC landed a commitment from Hutchinson Community College (located in Hutchinson, Kansas) running back Waymond Jordan Jr. 247Sports ranks Jordan as the top JUCO back in this year’s cycle.

At Hutchinson this past season, Jordan had more than 1600 total yards and 20 touchdowns. For his performance, he was named NJCAA Division I Football Offensive Player of the Year.

Jordan will be a part of a new-look USC running back room in 2025. The Trojans also added New Mexico State’s Eli Sanders in the transfer portal. In addition, they will return rising sophomores Bryan Jackson and A’Marion Peterson, both of whom performed well in the Las Vegas Bowl victory over Texas A&M.
