USC doesn't appear to be letting the foot on the gas pedal recruiting wise. The Trojans hosted a talented four-star from Florida -- who's currently heavily targeted by one top 10 recruiting class.

Interior offensive lineman Breck Kolojay roamed around the USC campus and took his visit out west during the weekend of June 21. The IMG Academy star created concern for one Atlantic Coast Conference powerhouse. Kolojay is a longtime Miami target, with the Hurricanes listed as a heavy favorite to land him.
Kolojay, however, sparked new intrigue for USC fans. He posted pictures of his official visit on his X (formerly Twitter) account -- signifying that the Trojans are indeed gaining momentum for him.

"Huge thanks to the whole USC staff for having me and my fam for an OV this past week," Kolojay said on his X account Monday.

Head coach Lincoln Riley isn't the only one courting Kolojay. Offensive line coach Zach Hanson is running point on his recruitment.
The 6-foot-5, 320-pounder surfaced as a rising USC target during his visit weekend. Trojans insider for On3 Scott Schrader dropped this update on Sunday.
"As of today, this appears to be a USC vs. Miami battle and Kolojay is not in a hurry to make a decision," Schrader wrote. "That's not to say he won't choose a school in the near future, but his decision on a school could come in December."
Kolojay would choose the nation's current No. 8 class if Miami becomes his pick. He'd become a major in-state win for Mario Cristobal and his coaching staff if he selects "The U." The 'Canes hold 10 verbal commits from Florida.

However, USC has Kolojay's IMG Academy teammate Keenyi Pope. Kolojay also has state of Colorado ties with five-star tight end commit Mark Bowman -- as the two played the game together in their younger years.
USC sits at 30 total verbal commits and appears to have a few spots left to fill the 2026 class.
