USC lands another No. 1 prospect in women's basketball as Saniyah Hall commits
Saniyah Hall, ESPN's No. 1 women's basketball prospect in the high school class of 2026, has committed to play at Southern California. Hall, a 6-foot-2 guard from northeast Ohio, announced her decision last week on ESPN's 'NBA Today.' USC has landed three of the last four No. 1 recruits, with Hall joining JuJu Watkins in 2023 and Jasmine Davidson in 2025. Watkins is expected to miss most of the upcoming season with a torn ACL that she suffered during the women's NCAA Tournament. She would most likely return for the 2026-27 season, which would be Hall's freshman year. Hall, who turns 17 on Wednesday, recently helped the United States win gold at the FIBA U19 Women's Basketball World Cup. She averaged 19.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists and was named MVP of the tournament. Hall will play for SPIRE Academy in Geneva, Ohio, for her senior season after transferring from Montverde Academy in central Florida.

North Carolina 4-star S Marquis Bryant plans to attend Notre Dame's home game against USC
The buzz surrounding Notre Dame's recruiting efforts is only going to get louder when top recruits attend Fighting Irish games this fall. One top prospect who plans to be in attendance for the October 18 battle against USC in South Bend is Marquis Bryant, who was extended an offer by Marcus Freeman and Co. back in March on Pot of Gold Day. The Class of 2027 Rolesville (Rolesville, NC) safety is a four-star prospect and the 13th-best player nationally at his position, per the 247Sports Composite Rankings. The 5-foot-11, 190-pounder visited Notre Dame in mid-June, and he told that he expects to take in the Trojans-Irish battle. ND does have some competition, though, as Bryant also plans to be at Clemson on August 30 and Georgia on September 13. Florida State is another program he wants to visit later this year. But Bryant did say the Irish are "pretty high" on his board, so we'll see how his recruitment ultimately shakes out.

USC football countdown to kickoff—Marcus Allen in focus
The countdown to USC's 2025 football season is officially on! The Trojans kick off their new campaign 33 days from today. You need something to help you while away the days and hours in the spring and summer. This is one way to do so. In this new series, countdown to kickoff, we will be counting down the days by highlighting a notable Trojan who wore each number. Today, we look at the first Heisman winner on the list—USC Heisman Trophy running back Marcus Allen. Position: Running back Years played at USC: 1978-1981 Career highlights: Allen did not start at running back for USC his first two years, because the Trojans had another Heisman winner in the backfield: the late, great Charles White. After winning a national championship as a freshman backup in 1978, Allen started at fullback in 1979. Following the graduation of White, Allen took over as USC's featured back in 1980. After rushing for more than 1,500 yards that season, he shattered the record book as a senior in 1981. That year, Allen became the first player in college football history to rush for over 2,000 yards in a season, carrying the ball 403 times for an incredible 2,342 yards and 22 touchdowns. He was named a Unanimous All-American and won just about every award that he was eligible for, including the Heisman Trophy, becoming the fourth USC running back to take home the honor. Allen's retired jersey No. 33 hangs in the Peristyle at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2000. After USC: Allen did not have to move very far after graduating, as the newly-moved Los Angeles Raiders selected him with the 10th overall pick in the 1982 NFL Draft. Playing his home games in the Coliseum, just as he did in college, Allen quickly became a star for L.A. In eleven seasons with the team, he was named to five Pro Bowls, made first-team All-Pro twice, made second-team All-Pro once, won MVP, offensive player of the year, offensive rookie of the year, and Super Bowl MVP, leading the Raiders to a victory in Super Bowl XVII. Allen spent the final five years of his career with the Kansas City Chiefs, making another Pro Bowl and winning comeback player of the year in 1993. Allen was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2003. He is the only player in football history to win a college football national championship, the Heisman Trophy, a Super Bowl, NFL MVP, Super Bowl MVP, and be named a Unanimous All-American.
