The USC Trojans landed a significant win in their 2027 recruiting class on Saturday, as five-star safety Honor Fa’alave-Johnson announced his commitment to USC.
Fa’alave-Johnson is the No. 1 ranked athlete in the 2027 class and the No. 16 player overall, per 247 Sports Composite. In the talent rich state of California, the 6-foot-1, 190-pounder who competes for Cathedral Catholic is the top-ranked player in the state.

Other programs were reportedly in the mix to land Fa’alave-Johnson, such as Oregon, Texas and Miami, but in the end, the star safety decided to stay in California and pledge his word to the Trojans. In high school, he played on both sides of the ball, excelling at the safety position on defense while playing all around offensively, proving himself as one of the top playmakers in the nation.
He’s expected to be given a chance to continue his playmaking prowess offensively at USC, as he’ll play both sides of the ball for the Trojans.
After reeling in the No. 1 2026 class, head coach Lincoln Riley and his staff are off to a fast start with the 2027 class. Along with the commitment of Fa’alave-Johnson, they’re also set to add four-stars in wide receivers Quentin Hale and Eli Woodard along with cornerback Aaryn Washington.
