About this episode

USC is leading the 2027 NFL Draft watch list with 13 players, showcasing their talent for the upcoming season.

USC is dominating the 2027 NFL Draft watch list with 13 players, up from just four last year, as the East-West Shrine Bowl spotlight shines on their rising stars. Cornerback Jontez Williams, defensive linemen Kameryn Crawford and Braylan Shelby, and standout DT Jide Abasiri — even a Lott IMPACT Trophy contender — are leading the charge. Veteran Alex VanSumeren adds depth up front. Offensively, the Trojans return a powerhouse line anchored by seniors Alani Noa and redshirt-juniors Tobias Raymond and Elijah Paige, while QB Jayden Maiava, a 2024 breakout, returns for his sophomore season. Running back Waymond Jordan, safety Christian Pierce, and wideout Terrell Anderson round out the roster of draft-eligible talent — making this USC season one to watch.
