USC football’s already loaded 2026 recruiting class continues to grow. On Wednesday, the Trojans added yet another member to the class, picking up a commitment from local safety Pete Sciarrino.
Sciarrino comes to USC from nearby Loyola High School, just a few miles up the road from the Coliseum. He will join the Trojans as a preferred walk-on.
“There is nowhere like USC,” Sciarrino told On3. “The tradition, the energy, and the strength of the Trojan Family is unmatched. I’ve been locked in on this since I was a kid and now I get to make it real!”
Although walk-ons do not typically generate the most hype, there are plenty of examples of them becoming contributors and even stars for major college football programs. Two of the most famous such examples have ties to the Trojans: Former USC linebacker Clay Matthews III went from a walk-on to a first-round draft pick and NFL All-Pro, and head coach Lincoln Riley coached former walk-on quarterback Baker Mayfield to the Heisman Trophy at Oklahoma. Playing for Riley at USC, Sciarrino will look to create his own walk-on-to-stardom story.
