Jide Abasiri committed to USC on Thursday morning. The Minnesota defensive lineman gives the Trojans some legitimate size in the trenches.

That Abasari comes from Big Ten country ahead of the move by USC to the Big Ten next year seems fitting. Abasari, a class of 2024 athlete, is a four-star recruit according to On3. He plays for Prio Lake (Savage, Minnesota).

According to On3, USC now has the No. 18 recruiting class in the nation after the addition of Abasiri and they rank fifth within the Big Ten.
