4. K’Lavon Chaisson, 4-star DE (Houston, TX)

K’Lavon Chaisson comes in at No. 4 on this list. It may take a late push from USC to secure Chaisson to their class. He has taken three official visits in the past two weeks to the likes of Colorado, LSU and Texas. Chaisson is set to make his official visit at USC just six days before National Signing Day on Jan. 27.

USC’s biggest competition is the home town team of Texas. With Chaisson being a Texas native, there may be incentive to go and play there. The Texas Longhorns defensive coordinator, Todd Orlando, has made a visit to see Chaisson as well. Orlando has been looking at Chaisson since his time at Houston. K’Lavon Chaisson is a Houston native and would have been right in Orlando’s back yard during his time at the University of Houston.

USC has some work to do if they are going to be able to beat out Texas. If Chaisson decides to come out to LA, he would be the highest rated defensive end that the Trojans would pick up from the 2017 class.

K’Lavon Chaisson is the third-ranked defensive end and No. 11 overall in his class according to 247Sports.
