The USC Trojans are intensifying their efforts to secure a commitment from elite 2026 four-star defensive lineman Titan Davis. Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 262 pounds, Davis is ranked No. 90 nationally and No. 8 among defensive linemen in the 2026 class, according to the On3 Industry Rankings . As one of the most sought-after defensive linemen in his class, Davis has drawn interest from several top programs, including Alabama, Michigan, Nebraska, and Penn State.
USC head coach Lincoln Riley visited Davis in January, a move that helped maintain the Trojans’ position in his recruitment. Davis acknowledged the visit on social media, expressing gratitude for Riley’s outreach . The Trojans are scheduled to host Davis for an unofficial visit on April 26, providing an opportunity for the coaching staff to make a strong impression.
USC’s defensive coaching staff, led by coordinator D’Anton Lynn and defensive line coach Eric Henderson, is a significant draw for defensive recruits. The program has already secured commitments from notable defensive linemen, including five-star Justus Terry and four-star Ratumana Bulabalavu . The addition of Davis would further bolster USC’s defensive front as they transition into Big Ten play.
Davis has a series of visits lined up, including official visits to Alabama on May 30, Nebraska on June 13, and Michigan on June 20 . His mother, Jessica Johnson, praised Michigan after a recent visit, stating that the program “stamps all the boxes” in areas important to their family .
As Davis continues his recruitment journey, USC aims to leverage its coaching staff’s reputation and recent defensive acquisitions to secure his commitment. The upcoming unofficial visit will be crucial for the Trojans to solidify their standing with this top-tier prospect.
