How did USC football measure up on national signing day?

Wednesday, February 7 marked the arrival of the late signing window for USC football and other schools across the country.

The top recruits and their storylines are wrapped up for the most part with the early signing period ending in late December. The “second” signing day offered more for Lincoln Riley and the USC Trojans.

The recent month has included a lot of chaos because of the neverending coaching carousel. Nick Saban retired after a legendary tenure at Alabama. The Crimson Tide hired Kalen DeBoer from Washington. Jeff Hafley left Boston College for the defensive coordinator job with the Green Bay Packers. Newly-minted national champion Jim Harbaugh left Michigan for the NFL and the L.A. Chargers.

USC brought in 19 recruits on December 20 with 14 of them enrolled last month for spring practice and 11 transfers from the portal.

USC’s class entered Wednesday ranked No. 17 in the nation per 247Sports.

Let’s see how Wednesday changed the equation:

The top recuit on the USC 2024 board, Amaree Williams had 15 sacks as a sophomore and caught 16 passes for 424 yards and seven touchdowns as a junior while playing on both sides of the ball.

His father, Moe Williams, was a third-round pick in the 1996 NFL draft and played 10 seasons in the league. Williams announced his commitment to Florida State over USC, Miami and Texas.

Running back Gabe Sawchuk, a USC target, did not sign with anyone
