Aaliyah Farmer, Simone Jackson, and Julia Gomez are each committed to play for NCAA title-winning program USC — and their recruiting class is ranked #4 in the nation, due in no small part to their talent.
Slammers FC and USC have a great history. Most recently, Slammers FC and USC alums Julia Bingham and Natalie Jacobs were drafted into the NWSL.
The three Class of 2021 Trojans-to-be will join current USC player and Slammers alum Jaelyn Eisenhart.

USC Head Coach Keidane McAlpine on Farmer: Aaliyah is a defensive mid who is extremely talented in the air and is a very good passer of the ball. She works box to box and will provide some toughness for our team.
Aaliyah on why she chose USC: “USC has always been my dream school growing up in California. My goal as an athlete was to further my academics and athletics in the same state so my family could come witness the growth in my game. There isn’t a more perfect place to accomplish that dream than USC and I can’t wait to further my career as a Trojan.”
