Los Alamitos (Calif.) High four-star defensive lineman T.A. Cunningham made his first gameday visit to USC this weekend.

The top-25 recruit saw a good game between the Trojans and Arizona State as the home team left with a 42-25 victory.

Cunningham enjoyed his time, tweeting out two photos Sunday morning with a simple but powerful caption of “i like it here.”

In one of the photos, Cunningham posed with USC starting quarterback and national superstar Caleb Williams.

Cunningham is the No. 20 overall recruit in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the top-ranked prospect from the state of California in the 2024 On300 ranking.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $125k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Cunningham has a list of 13 schools he is considering.

T.A. Cunningham Scouting Summary

Big, light-footed athlete along the defensive front. Has one of the larger frames among top 2024 defensive linemen, checking in at 6-foot-6 and around 275 pounds prior to his junior season. Flashes his athleticism by making some high-level plays in pursuit. Regularly disrupts passing lanes and batted down several passes as a sophomore. Will need to continue developing his technique and hands in disengaging from blocks and as a pass rusher.
