USC Commit Teases Teaming With 4-Star in Major High School Transfer
USC Commit Teases Teaming With 4-Star in Major High School Transfer originally appeared on Athlon Sports. A pair of USC commits may not need to wait until after their high school graduation to team together. That's because there's rumblings these high-profile 2026 commits will collaborate during their upcoming senior season. Advertisement Los Angeles Times high school reporter/columnist Eric Sondheimer posted Friday evening the news involving four-star defensive back commit Brandon Lockhart. Sounds like he's on his way out of Loyola High in Los Angeles. Sondheimer revealed who he could be joining ahead of the fall. "It appears USC commit Brandon Lockhart is leaving Loyola for Sierra Canyon. He's a DB and good friends with Madden Riordan, another USC commit," Sondheimer posted on X. Former USC quarterback Caleb Williams in a 2023 game at Notre Dame. Matt Cashore-USA TODAY Sports That would mean Lockhart leaves one Mission League school for another in crossing over to the Trailblazers. Well, Riordan teased the collaboration -- by posting an eye winking emoji in reacting to Sondheimer's post. This signals the transfer is nearing completion. And that Lockhart and Riordan are soon forming a tandem in Chatsworth. Advertisement Both were among the early verbal commits for USC. Lockhart first chose the Trojans during Oct. 2023. He's now the state of California's No. 9 ranked prospect for '26. Lockhart also ranks as the nation's No. 7 CB talent. He landed 18 total offers plus turned down Notre Dame and Georgia for USC. Riordan is another early verbal to the Trojans. He chose USC the following month during 2023. Riordan lured in 15 total offers and was courted by the likes of Stanford, Oklahoma and Texas A&M. USC DB coach Doug Belk is responsible for recruiting both DBs over to the Land of Troy.

Mile Svilar to sign new 5-year contract with Roma in July Roma are one step away from finalizing the contract renewal of Mile Svilar. The negotiations, which have kept the future of the Belgian goalkeeper in suspense, now seem to have reached the final stages. Advertisement The final agreement is expected by the start of the summer preseason training, putting an end to a long but negotiation. Roma's new sporting director, Frederic Massara, is working to define the final details with the player's agent. According to Corriere dello Sport, the proposal currently being finalized includes a five-year contract with a salary of 3.5 million euros per year plus bonuses. This is a figure significantly higher than the current salary, which is around a million euros. An initial offer of 3 million was rejected, but the increase and the new conditions seem to have led the parties to an agreement. Claudio Ranieri's role also facilitated the agreement: the former coach, in fact, maintained frequent contact with Svilar in recent weeks, encouraging the rapprochement between the player and the club.
