T.A. Cunningham, nation's No. 1 defensive lineman, visiting USC Trojans again this weekend
Los Alamitos High School (California) junior T.A. Cunningham has racked up nearly 60 scholarship offers, making him one of the most heavily-recruited players in America.
Rated a five-star prospect and the nation's No. 1 defensive lineman in the class of 2024, the 6-foot-6, 265-pound athlete has kept his cards pretty close to the vest when it comes to where he'll play college ball.
But it does seem as though Cunningham has heightened interest in USC, as he announced he'll be visiting for the second consecutive home game Saturday:
“I feel like they’re definitely a top contender,” he told On3. “Something about it feels right. Something about the whole culture, Fight On, every single part of just like game day, that tradition. all of that. It all feels natural.”
USC has had plenty of recent success recruiting Los Alamitos, having secured five-star quarterback Malachi Nelson and elite wide receiver Makai Lemon in its current recruiting class.
Keeping that pipeline going in the 2024 class would be huge for Lincoln Riley.
Still, having grown up in Georgia, Kirby Smart's Bulldogs are another program to watch.
Whoever lands Cunningham will be getting a projectable future NFL player who should be a college game-wrecking defender:
