Four-star defensive back Peyton Dyer didn’t just de-commit from South Carolina before committing to USC on Sunday, according to On3.
The 6-foot, 205-pound cornerback from Atlanta decided he wanted to rub a little salt in the Gamecocks’ wound. In his announcement that he was heading west to Los Angeles instead of staying in the South and going to Columbia, Dyer did a little play on words with USC and South Carolina both being known as “USC.”
“Now that I’m part of the real USC, I’m ready to work and build something special,” said Dyer, implying that Southern California was the real USC and not South Carolina, where he had committed last November to play starting in 2026.
But Dyer and his family took their official visit to USC this past weekend, and now he’s choosing the Big Ten over the SEC.

— Hayes Fawcett (@Hayesfawcett3) June 8, 2025Dyer would’ve given the South Carolina secondary room a huge boost for the 2026 season, so this is a major recruiting loss for the Gamecocks. According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Dyer is the 299th-ranked player in the Class of 2026, the 24th-ranked cornerback and the 32nd-ranked player from the state of Georgia.
The cornerback phenom had close to 30 offers for his services, with Georgia and Penn State also being heavily in the mix.
But Dyer has chosen USC, and not the “USC” that resides in the SEC.
