Southern Cal added one of the top remaining targets in the Class of 2025 on Wednesday, landing a pledge from 4-star wide receiver Jerome Myles.

Myles, a 6-foot-2, 210-pound receiver from Draper, Utah, had previously committed to Ole Miss before backing out in June. He picked the Trojans over Texas A&M and Utah.

The 247Sports composite lists Myles as the seventh-rated wide receiver and No. 36 player overall in the class. Myles was ESPN's top uncommitted receiver from next year's class.

He visited Texas A&M in Week 1 but told ESPN he was sold on USC after his visit there the following week.

"USC just blew everybody out of the water," Myles said. "They produce the most NFL draft picks. And the wide receiver development is crazy. And if I don't make it in football out there, I'll make it some way in life. They're not all about just the football part. I like that."

Myles originally planned to announce his commitment at the end of October before suffering an ACL injury Aug. 30 while playing for Corner Canyon High School.

Myles caught 39 passes for 1,185 yards and 14 touchdowns across his sophomore and junior seasons in 2022 and 2023, respectively.
