have made up ground at a rapid pace<\/a>. Kolojay was on campus for his official visit on June 17, and what could\u2019ve been just a routine pitch quickly turned into a major turning point.<\/p>\nThe Trojans are known to operate stealthily in some recruitments, and this may be one of them. Chad Simmons of On3 also confirmed that Kolojay has begun narrowing his list down now to four schools, and USC is very much still in the mix. One of USC\u2019s biggest recruiting wins in 2026 has been five-star offensive tackle Keenyi Pepe<\/b>, ranked as the No. 2 OT in the country and Breck Kolojay\u2019s teammate at IMG Academy. <\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026the ties with USC obviously are great. So, I won\u2019t rehash that a ton, but just really quickly, he plays at IMG Academy. Teammates and roommates or was roommates at least last season, with USC commit Keenyi Pepe. So obviously close ties there,\u201d Dyrud added. Adding Kolojay could really bolster the Trojans\u2019 O-line in the class of 2026.<\/p>\n

Breck Kolojay could solidify USC\u2019s O-Line class of 2026<\/strong><\/p>\nBeyond Pepe, USC\u2019s 2026 offensive line class is a powerhouse. The group already features six commits, three tackles, and three interior linemen, including Esun Tafa<\/b>, a four-star guard from Utah ranked No. 10 at his position, and Vlad Dyakonov<\/b>, one of the biggest risers in this recruiting cycle. Adding Kolojay would not only bolster the unit, but it would also give USC four interior linemen in the class, with enough versatility to shuffle players as needed.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the kind of flexibility USC has been lacking in the trenches in recent years. With Big Ten play on the horizon, stacking talent with both size and adaptability is a must. Kolojay\u2019s potential role in that group can\u2019t be understated. As it stands, USC\u2019s class of 2026 is already ranked No. 1<\/b> in the country. Adding Breck Kolojay would not only solidify the offensive line as the strength of the class but also send a message to national rivals that USC is back to dominating the line of scrimmage.<\/p>\n

As Ryan Dyrud emphasized in his recent analysis, \u201cI would not be shocked if an announcement and a commitment do come here rather quickly\u2026 it could be sooner than we think.\u201d That momentum makes USC a legitimate dark horse for Kolojay\u2019s signature.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If the Trojans manage to pull off this late surge and beat out the likes of Georgia and Miami, Kolojay could be the cherry on top of a historic haul in the trenches. From youth football in Colorado to the elite ranks of IMG Academy, his journey may just lead him to the Coliseum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At 6-foot-5 and 320 pounds, Breck Kolojay is a behemoth on the interior offensive line.
