On Tuesday, USC picked up a commitment from three-star wide receiver Eli Woodard. Woodard is the Trojans’ second commit in the class of 2027.
Following his announcement, Woodard spoke to Rivals about why he chose the Trojans.
“I’m very excited to be a Trojan,” Woodard said. “It’s a great school with great tradition, especially at my position and I love the all around fit.
“I’ve been up to USC a lot over the last year and I have a really strong comfort level there. I really wasn’t planing to make such an early decision but when I was there for Junior Day two weeks ago, it just felt right and I knew I was ready to be a Trojan.
“USC produces NFL receivers every year and Makai Lemon is going to be a 1st rounder this year. It’s a great offense to play in and USC has shown they play freshman receivers if they’re ready and that’s definitely going to be the goal for me.”
Woodard is the Trojans’ first offensive commit in the 2027 cycle. We will see if more players join him in committing to USC in the coming weeks.
