USC Eyes Rising Receiver JJ Haley | USC Trojans Football News

USC’s coaching staff is zeroing in on rising junior receiver JJ Haley, a six-foot-three, 200-pound two-sport standout from Corona Del Mar High School who’s turning heads with his explosive playmaking and deep-threat potential. After a breakout sophomore season — where he racked up over 650 yards and six touchdowns in just 10 games — Haley’s already earned offers from Arizona State and Colorado State and is dominating summer seven-on-seven tournaments. With a quick release, shifty after-catch moves, and elite separation skills, he’s showing he can win contested catches and make defenders miss. Though he’s not nationally ranked yet, his route-running and versatility (including potential to transition to tight end) make him a rising star. He’s already visited USC and Stanford, feeling a strong connection to the Trojans as a Southern California native. Arizona State leads the race right now, but Haley’s keeping his options open as he prepares for a pivotal junior season — and USC is watching closely as they build momentum for their 2028 class.
