Chad Bowden and USC already have the top-ranked recruiting class in the country for the 2026. On Wednesday, the Trojans' class got even deeper with the addition of offensive lineman Chase Deniz.

Deniz is a three-star recruit from San Diego. 247Sports ranks him as the No. 117 offensive tackle in the class of 2026.

"After an amazing visit and careful consideration I am honored and blessed to say I am 100% committed to playing college football at the University of Southern California!" Deniz wrote on Twitter. I want to thank my family and coaches for being there with me on this journey. FIGHT ON"

Deniz is USC's 16th commit in the class of 2026. He is the third commit for new offensive line coach Zach Hanson.

USC recruiting continues to thrive under Bowden. As we have wrote several times in the past, it will be imperative that Lincoln Riley and the Trojans win on the field this fall in order to keep the class together. Chad Bowden is giving Lincoln Riley elite groceries. The chef now has to be able to cook.
