The USC Trojans took many by surprise when four-star outside linebacker Levi Jones committed to them on National Signing Day. Jones used a unique way of committing to the Trojans as well. He donned a black hoodie before removing a Florida Gators shirt then removing a Florida State shirt, finally revealing a USC Trojans shirt.

The four-star linebacker out of Austin, Texas ranks 92nd overall in the nation, according to 247Sports. He is the sixth-best outside linebacker and 14th-best player in the state of Texas. Many had Jones leaning towards Florida State but his commitment to USC strengthens a unit in need of defensive depth.

Jones had 103 tackles (72 solo, 31 assisted), 12 tackles for loss, four sacks and four pass breakups in his senior season at Westlake High School. Head coach Clay Helton closing out on this coveted target now puts the Trojans in a position of conference dominance.
