Under new general manager Chad Bowden, USC recruiting has made massive strides this offseason. It seems as though the Trojans are trying to send a message: Even if a guy is committed to your school, that doesn’t mean you are safe.
On Tuesday, four-star defensive lineman Tomuhini Topui decommitted from Oregon. According to several recruiting sites, Topui is widely expected to end up at USC. Topui was at the Trojans’ first spring practice on Tuesday wearing USC gear.
Landing Topui would be a massive addition for Bowden and the Trojans to add to their already top-ranked recruiting class. According to 247Sports Composite, he is the No. 130 overall player and the No. 15 defensive lineman in the class of 2026.
Topui attends Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana. Perhaps the most well-known feeder program for USC, Mater Dei has produced numerous past Trojans stars, including Matt Leinart, Matt Barkley, and Amon-Ra St. Brown. Reestablishing a strong pipeline with the program would be huge for Bowden and USC in future recruiting cycles.
