USC and Georgia Southern have agreed to play on Sept. 6, 2025 at the Coliseum. So Clay Helton returns to the Coliseum, if he is still the coach at Georgia Southern.

He is the No. 12-ranked offensive tackle in the nation by 247 and a four-star prospect. But he is only a three-star prospect by Rivals. There’s nothing wrong with a difference of opinion.

Fields is a Class of 2024 prospect so the question is will Donte Williams be at USC to coach him? Continue reading USC Lands Four-Star Cornerback

It’s kind of hard not to notice that as USC received a commitment from three-star offensive tackle Hayden Treter over the weekend, top 10-ranked offensive tackle Brandon Baker of Mater Dei High School appears to be favoring Oregon and doesn’t have USC listed among his top choices. Now all is not yet lost for USC and top offensive lineman, as another top-10 prospect, offensive tackle … Continue reading Morning Buzz: USC Can Still Land A Top Lineman (It Hopes)
