Peyton Dyer brings length, versatility, and SEC-ready upside to USC’s secondary
Peyton Dyer is a 2026 cornerback prospect from Tyner Academy (Chattanooga, Tenn.) who committed to USC on June 8, 2025; multiple recruiting services list him around 6-0, 190-195 pounds and rank him as a four-star-level defensive back, including a top-25-ish cornerback nationally in composite rankings.[1][2][3] What makes him worth caring about is the blend of size, speed, and versatility that has had evaluators treating him as a rising cover man with upside, plus the fact that USC beat out other major programs after he reopened his recruitment.[2][3][4]
