USC Lands Monumental Commitment from Nation’s Top Wide Receiver Ethan “Boobie” Feaster, Beating Out SEC Giants Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee in High-Stakes Battle for 5-Star Talent
In a seismic recruiting victory, the USC Trojans have secured a verbal commitment from the nation’s No. 1 wide receiver, Ethan “Boobie” Feaster, a 5-star phenom widely considered one of the most electrifying playmakers in the 2025 class. The California powerhouse beat out perennial SEC juggernauts Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee in what was a heated recruiting battle from coast to coast.
Feaster, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound standout from Dallas, Texas, made his announcement via a nationally televised ceremony, donning a USC hat and declaring his intent to bring the Trojans back to national prominence. His commitment sends a clear message: USC is not just a West Coast power — it’s a national recruiting force capable of going toe-to-toe with the SEC’s elite.
“I chose USC because it feels like home,” Feaster said during his announcement. “Coach Lincoln Riley and Coach Dennis Simmons believe in my game, and they showed that from day one. I want to be part of something special in L.A.”
Feaster’s rare combination of speed, route-running precision, and big-play ability made him one of the most coveted prospects in the nation. As a junior, he racked up over 1,600 receiving yards and 22 touchdowns, earning comparisons to NFL stars like DeVonta Smith and Garrett Wilson. College coaches across the country had him circled as a potential game-changer, and USC’s ability to win out over the likes of Alabama and Georgia underscores their resurgence under Riley.
The commitment is not just a massive win on the field, but also in the recruiting narrative. The Trojans have struggled in recent years to keep pace with the SEC’s recruiting machine, particularly for top-tier talent outside the West. Feaster’s decision signifies a shift — top recruits are again seeing USC as a legitimate path to championships and NFL stardom.
For Lincoln Riley and his staff, this commitment could be a turning point. Feaster is the type of athlete who can change games — and potentially a program’s trajectory. With USC set to join the Big Ten, the addition of a marquee talent like Feaster is the kind of move that makes national headlines and playoff dreams feel just a bit more real.
