Yes, this past weekend at USC was special. Most Trojan fans will remember it for the several commitments the program gained. Yet, there was so much more going on behind the scenes.
To be sure, the first point of focus for most USC football fans was the parade of recruits coming into the program in a span of nearly 48 hours: Manasse Itete joined
offensive lineman Hayden Treter, safety Jarvis Boatwright, cornerback Dakoda Fields, and edge rusher Kameryn Fountain, with another recruit not yet announced as of early Tuesday morning.
There are, by all appearances, even more commitments to come. By all means, this is really exciting.
Yet, it wasn’t the whole story of this past weekend for Lincoln Riley and USC football. There was even more to achieve, as you’ll see below:
NEW USC FRESHMEN MOVING INTO DORMS
Last lunch before Tobias moves in to his dorm. Zeek just finished his practice and got weighed in. 180lbs… 8 years behind Tobias.
