Mission Viejo (Calif.) wide receiver Jackson Smith, a University of Georgia commit, is set to visit the University of Southern California following a recent scholarship offer from the Trojans. The dynamic playmaker, who committed to Georgia earlier this year, is reportedly intrigued by the opportunity to stay closer to home while playing for one of the most storied programs in college football.
Smith, a four-star prospect known for his elite route-running and explosive speed, has been a key player for Mission Viejo, contributing to their strong performances in California high school football. USC’s offer is seen as part of head coach Lincoln Riley’s aggressive push to bolster the Trojans’ offensive talent.
Although Smith has reaffirmed his commitment to Georgia in the past, the chance to visit USC could signal a potential shift in his recruitment. The Trojans’ proximity to home and their high-powered offense under Riley could appeal to Smith as he evaluates his options ahead of National Signing Day.
Recruiting analysts expect Smith’s visit to USC to draw significant attention, as the Trojans look to make a late push to flip the talented receiver. For now, Georgia fans remain hopeful, but the visit adds intrigue to Smith’s recruitment process.
