Report: Pair of 4-star Oregon recruits willing to look at USC after Lincoln Riley hire
The hiring of head coach Lincoln Riley at USC is sure to have a ripple effect in the Pac-12, especially when it comes to recruiting. We’ve already see some high-profile recruits de-commit from the Oklahoma Sooners after Riley left town, and now we might be seeing some others start to do the same.
According to The Oregonian’s Andrew Nemec, there are a couple of names to watch if you’re a fan of the Oregon Ducks. 4-star DB Jahlil Florence, who has already committed to the Ducks, says that he would visit USC if Riley reaches out to him. On top of that, 4-star WR Darrius Clemons, from Westview in Portland, also said that he would be willing to listen to USC if they came calling.
Oregon 4-star DB @JahlilFlorence8 is “solid to Oregon,” but would visit USC if Lincoln Riley reaches out. Something to monitor (and likely to be a pretty common thought process for Cali pledges and/or targets).

Westview 4-star WR @DarriusClemons, who is primarily down to Auburn and Oregon, may take a visit to Michigan or USC (if Lincoln Riley and staff reach out) before making a decision. He is still likely to commit during (or before) the early signing period window.

Nothing to panic about yet for Duck fans, but certainly something to watch. Oregon has enjoyed a recruiting dominance over the past few years, especially in the state of California, but that is going to change moving forward with Lincoln Riley coming to town.
