USC Football: Trojans Offer Elite Northern California Athlete

Archbishop Riordan (San Francisco, CA) athlete Chris Lawson recently took a visit to USC for its game against UCLA. This was prior to USC offering him, while UCLA had already extended an offer. 

Your Trojans joined a slew of schools courting Lawson. Penn State, Kansas, Oregon, Washington, Cal, Arizona, and Colorado State have all offered Lawson. The 6-too-1 Lawson plays both corner and wide receiver for Archbishop Riordan's high-powered offense. Luke Huard, USC's inside wide receivers coach is serving as Lawson's main point of contact. 

Some schools are looking at Lawson as a slot, while others see him playing both inside and outside. 247Sports considers him a 4-star prospect, the 141st-best player in the 2025 class, the 13th-best wide receiver, and the 11th-best prospect in the state of California. As of late, USC has been casting a wide net as it relates to their 2025 class, for which they lack any commitments.
