Rancho Cucamonga (Calif.) cornerback RJ Sermons Jr. is in demand. USC football extended an offer to Sermons, a four-star prospect from the 2026 class.
Sermons is rated as a four-star recruit by On3 and 247 ratings. He is the No. 18 player overall and the No. 2 cornerback in the 2026 recruiting class. He is also the No. 3 player from the state of California in the 2026 class.
Sermons’ top offers so far include UCLA, Alabama, Notre Dame, Oregon, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Michigan State, Washington, Utah, Louisville, Arizona, Colorado, Syracuse and Arizona State
USC has a slight recruiting advantage with Sermons, whose father, Rodney Sermons, played running back at USC from 1994-1997. The elder Sermons rushed for a total of 1,170 yards and 16 touchdowns in his career.
USC hopes to add something secondary in this recruitment. The Trojans just landed a commitment from cornerback Shamar Arnoux, who lives in Carrollton, Georgia. Doug Belk is working. Let’s see if he can increase his contribution to USC.
