a local, big-play receiver with West Coast buzz
Donald “D.” Hale is a 2027 USC wide receiver commit who stands out for his length, downfield explosiveness, and production: he’s listed at 6-foot-3, 175 pounds and was credited with 62 catches for 872 yards and 12 touchdowns in the 2025 season, plus 125 receptions for 1,867 yards and 26 scores over his last two seasons.[2][4] He’s rated among the top wideouts on the West Coast and a top-10 California prospect in his class, which fits USC’s pass-heavy identity and signals real upside as a boundary threat who can win vertically and in the red zone.[2][4][11]
