USC will be hosting Jalen Lott of Frisco, Tex., during the weekend of June 6. The four-star wide receiver from Panther Creek High is the No. 8 overall prospect in the state of Texas by 247Sports.
Lott holds 47 total offers. But Texas and Oregon are the two frontrunners according to On3. The Longhorns are trending as the favorite -- with Hank South of 247Sports projecting a 100% chance Lott chooses Texas.

USC head coach Lincoln Riley and his staff, however, have a major chance to swing him their way. Lott is one of the influx of visitors coming to the Land of Troy. The 6-foot, 176-pound WR is "warm" on the Trojans according to 247Sports. Wide receivers coach Dennis Simmons is leading the charge to nab Lott.

"Highly productive receiver who could potentially play either side of the ball in the long run," wrote 247Sports scouting analyst Gabe Brooks. "Excels as a linear athlete thanks to sudden acceleration and a long stride that fosters top-end speed verified on the track."
Brooks adds how Lott brings a stellar background as a high and long jumper on the track. Brooks includes how he's a fan of Lott's catch radius and hand consistency.
"Knows how to protect his body from unnecessary shots while giving his QB a reasonable target. Displays high-pointing acumen, ball-tracking skill, hands-catching consistency, and plucking dexterity," Brooks said.
Lott isn't the only high-profile Texas WR visiting USC. Fellow four-star Ethan "Boobie" The uncommitted Feaster is also on campus. Lott is visiting and touring USC alongside members of the Trojans' No. 1 ranked 2026 recruiting class.
