Blue-chip offensive tackle Keenyi Pepe from IMG Academy announced Thursday that he will play his college football at the University of Southern California.
“Coming Back Home,” the Class of 2026 prospect posted to social media platform X.
Home is Long Beach, Calif., and he is a student at IMG in Bradenton, Fla. The 247Sports composite ranks him as a four-star prospect but the No. 6 player at his position in the 2026 class and No. 68 player overall.
ESPN, however, lists him as a five-star commit who is the No. 3 offensive tackle and the No. 17 overall prospect in the class.
Keenyi chose the Trojans over Florida, Georgia, Miami and Texas.
He measures 6-foot-7 and 320 pounds.
His older brother, defensive tackle Kobe Pepe, will be a redshirt senior for the Trojans in 2025. The elder Pepe played in high school at local powerhouse St. John Bosco in Bellflower, Calif.
