Tremblay chose the Trojans over Alabama, Washington and UCLA, having earned 12 scholarship offers during his recruitment.
The Sacramento native ranks as the No. 5 defensive tackle, No. 1 player from the state of California and No. 13 overall prospect for the 2018 national JUCO recruiting cycle, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.
USC has enjoyed recent success with JUCO defensive lineman, having signed nose tackle Stevie Tu'ikolovatu and departing starting defensive tackle Josh Fatu in 2016.
The Trojans signed eight commitments during Wednesday's early signing period and currently have four hard commitments for their 2018 class, which ranks No. 14 overall nationally and third among Pac-12 teams, according to the 247Sports Team Composite rankings.
