USC firing Clay Helton could benefit Kentucky with one particular 5-star recruit

The University of Southern California firing its head coach two games into the season wouldn’t typically be relevant news on a Kentucky fansite, but there are five star-shaped reasons as to why we’re going to talk about it today.

Remember Mykel Williams? He’s a five-star defensive lineman out of Georgia who committed USC in June over schools such as Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, Georgia, and even the Kentucky Wildcats, among a few others. Clocking in at 6-foot-5, 265 pounds, he’s tabbed by On3 as the ninth-best prospect in the class of 2022.
