Talent acquisition on the West Coast almost always starts and ends with two schools, Oregon and USC. The recruiting powerhouses pump out pro prospects on an annual basis, and they are stacked once again in 2025, accounting for 12 of the top 100 players in Mike Renner’s NFL prospect rankings.
The No. 7 Ducks host the No. 15 Trojans Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+ Premium in a key Big Ten showdown that not only pits some of the most outstanding individual players in the country against each other but could also determine whether one or both teams will reach the College Football Playoff.
Lincoln Riley put in an immense amount of work over the last year to reestablish USC as a premier destination for high school recruits. After emphasizing the transfer portal in the first three seasons of his tenure and seeing diminishing results, the Trojans now boast the No. 1 high school recruiting class in the country, per 247Sports. Riley’s efforts on the trail produced three top-100 NFL prospects for 2025, and more are on the way.
Dan Lanning, meanwhile, has been nearly unstoppable in bringing blue-chip talent to Oregon both through the transfer portal and from the prep ranks. He continues to stack NFL-bound stars like no Ducks coach before him, and this year he has nine top-100 prospects on his loaded roster.
