Danny Lang’s Accelerated Commitment
Danny Lang, a blue-chip prospect from the powerhouse Mater Dei High School, has been at the center of some intense recruiting battles. He was planning to announce his college commitment on his birthday this summer.
But now, he’s decided to move things up and will make his decision on March 25. This change is adding some extra buzz for fans and recruiters, all waiting to see if he’ll choose Auburn, Oregon, or USC.

What This Means for Auburn, Oregon, and USC
Each of these three schools would get a big boost by landing Lang. His choice doesn’t just shape his own future—it could shift the recruiting balance for these programs, too.
- Auburn: Adding Lang would give their defensive backfield a real edge and strengthen their recruiting class.
- Oregon: The Ducks have been ramping up their talent pool, and Lang would be a headline addition.
- USC: Since he’s a local guy, picking USC would be a huge win for the Trojans’ recruiting efforts.
Austin Busso’s Impressive Offseason
While Lang’s announcement is stealing headlines, another rising star is making his own mark. Oradell (NJ) Bergen Catholic receiver Austin Busso has been turning heads on the 7-on-7 circuit.
Playing for Coastline Stars, the 5-11, 180-pounder has shown off highlight-reel catches, breakaway speed, and a knack for beating top defensive backs. He’s not easy to ignore out there.
