2026 Five-star linebacker Xavier Griffin announced that he has decommitted from USC and will re-open his recruitment ahead of the summer official visit window. Griffin plans to take four official visits this summer to Alabama,Ā Florida State,Ā GeorgiaĀ andĀ Texas.

The 6-foot-4, 205-pounder has been committed to the Trojans since July of 2024 and a key part to USC’s current No. 1 2026 recruiting class. Griffen is the No. 22 player in the nation according to 247Sports Composite Rankings. He is the No. 2 linebacker in the US.

Griffin reportedly backed out on his USC pledge because he wanted to take some official visits. Lincoln Riley has a policy that committed prospects are not allowed to take official visits to other schools.

A lean, physical linebacker, Griffin might project as an EDGE at the next level. In two seasons at Gainesville High School, Griffin has 97 total tackles and 21 sacks over his sophomore and junior years. He has had some unofficial visits this spring to Florida State,Ā TennesseeĀ and Texas.
