Three-star linebacker Dylan Wafle commits to USC

Back in December, USC signed the No. 1 recruiting class in the country for the 2026 cycle. The star of that class was defensive lineman Luke Wafle, who ranked as the top overall recruit in the country.

Now, the Trojans are adding another Wafle to their program. On Monday, USC picked up a commitment from Luke’s younger brother, three-star linebacker Dylan Wafle. The younger Wafle brother chose the Trojans over Duke, Boston College, and UCF.

Wafle brother to USC from Avon Old Farms school in Avon, Connecticut (shoutout NEPSAC). 247Sports Composite ranks him as the No. 1,542 overall player and the No. 140 linebacker in the class of 2027.

Wafle is USC’s 14th commit in the 2027 class. 247Sports currently ranks the Trojans’ class as No. 8 in the country. Of the seven schools ahead of USC, only one is in the Big Ten—Oregon at No. 6.
