USC was able to successfully sell recruits early in the cycle, a clear indication of how a robust football brand — something the Trojans didn’t possess to the same extent 12 months ago — is paying dividends for Lincoln Riley and the whole program. USC’s strong 2022 season combined with Riley’s sterling reputation within the college football industry are giving the Trojans a lot of momentum.
