The USC Trojans have pulled off a massive recruiting win, landing five-star tight end Mark Bowman, the No. 1 TE in the 2026 class. On Friday, the Mater Dei standout committed to the Trojans, choosing USC over powerhouse programs like Georgia, Texas, and Oregon. His decision not only strengthened USC’s top-ranked recruiting class but also brought a major financial boost. Bowman is reportedly set to earn around $10 million in NIL deals.

Bowman, a six-foot-four, 225-pound tight end, has drawn comparisons to former Georgia star Brock Bowers. His ability to move like a receiver, combined with his elite blocking skills, makes him one of the most complete tight end prospects in recent memory. In his sophomore season at Mater Dei, Bowman caught 32 passes for 435 yards and eight touchdowns, proving he can be a game-changer in both the passing and running game.

USC’s recruiting turnaround under Lincoln Riley has been nothing short of remarkable. The Trojans now hold the No. 1 recruiting class in the country, surpassing LSU and Ohio State. Bowman’s commitment marks USC’s 27th pledge in the 2026 cycle, giving them more commits than any other program in the top 30.

Bowman’s NIL valuation reflects his star power. With deals reportedly totaling $10 million, he is set to be one of the highest-paid recruits in college football history. His marketability, combined with USC’s presence in Los Angeles, makes him a prime candidate for major endorsement opportunities.
