Five Key Visits to Track Out West This Weekend

There are several key games taking place this weekend, with the Big Ten schools hosting key games, including a pair of West Coast Big Ten schools taking on traditional Midwest Big Ten programs.Earlier this week, we covered where most of the recruits were headed this weekend.But here, we track the five most significant visits being taken by Western recruits this weekend in week nine of the college football season.4-star 2028 OL Aden Owolabi visiting USCThe No. 1 recruit in the state of California will be back at USC for the second time this season. He was at their earlier game against Washington but now gets to see the Trojans again when they host Ohio State. The Trojans are battling Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Oregon the most for Owolabi, but are the first to get a second visit from him.4-star 2028 QB Titus Huard visiting OregonSpeaking of No. 1 players, the top-recruit in the state of Colorado will be in Eugene to see Oregon against Northwestern. Huard has longstanding ties to Washington, where his father and uncle played, but the Ducks have been pursuing him for a while. Even with the firing of Drew Mehringer, Huard still has strong interest in the Ducks.4-star 2028 ATH Jayce Halasz visiting USCThe two-way standout from the Northwest, Halasz will be heading to Los Angeles to see the Trojans against Ohio State. USC is battling Oregon, where Steve Wiltfong has predicted him as well as Alabama but the Trojans have been making a push of later for the four-star.4-star 2028 OT Kyler Harden visiting OregonAnother Rivals 300 prospect from Washington, Harden will be making his third Big Ten visit of the fall, having visited UCLA last weekend and hometown Washington earlier in the year. His trainer also trained former Seattle product Josh Conerly Jr., who ended up a first rounder out of Oregon after leaving Seattle and the Ducks are trying to do that again.4-star 2029 DB Jackson Parker visiting USCParker has been to USC numerous times – his father, Larry, played for the Trojans and he was there earlier this season. Still, the Trojans haven’t offered the USC legacy and a prediction went in for crosstown rival UCLA earlier this week. Could USC finally pull the trigger and offer? We could find out this week.
