USC had the upper hand for Langley once they offered. Beaverton, Ore. - USC got another shot of good news Tuesday evening as elite four-star cornerback Isaiah Langley made his commitment during an ESPNU broadcast.

Cal and USC were in a battle of sorts publicly, however the 5-foot-11, 170-pounder knew where he wanted to go once the Trojans offered.

"It (USC) was my childhood favorite for such a long time," Langley said. "I just fell in love with the campus and every time I went back it just kept getting better and better every time. I really like coach Sark (Steve Sarkisian) but coach (Clay) Helton has been there since I first went down and that was big. I feel like I have the best connection with him out of all of the coaches I talked with."

Despite making his commitment Tuesday, Langley said everyone was essentially 'trying to beat them out' along the way.

"Pretty much when USC offered, I knew that one would probably be it. I kept going back to Cal to see if I had any doubts, I went to Oregon, UCLA and others but I just knew it was USC. It's been USC on top for a while and everyone else trying to beat them out for me. I kept it to myself so I could make a clear-headed decision."

Langley said he could potentially take some official visits but will talk to the USC staff about that before deciding. The Foothill (Calif.) Pleasanton star is the No. 86 overall player in the nation, and the No. 7 cornerback in the nation, per the 247Sports Composite.
