Isaiah Rubin brings ball-hawk upside and special-teams juice to USC’s secondary
In the 2024 season, Isaiah Rubin arrived at USC as a four-star defensive back ranked among California’s top signees, and the word from the Trojan staff was clear: his value starts with quick feet, sharp route recognition, and real return-game pop. He was credited with 58 tackles, 7 interceptions, and 3 pick-sixes in his senior year at Los Alamitos, plus four punt-return touchdowns, which screams playmaker with juice. By 2026, he’s listed as a redshirt sophomore safety and a key depth option, making him a good fit if a team wants range, instincts, and some sneaky-kickoff chaos.
