Recruiting 2026 DE target Braeden Jones commits to USC

[Tyler James]

A surprise here as 2026 four-star defensive end Braeden Jones committed to USC this afternoon.

Jones, from Chicago's Mt. Carmel, visited Notre Dame multiple times, and I put a Notre Dame FutureCast in for him back in May. Big get for the Trojans, though they have had trouble holding onto early commitments recently.
