Two days ago, Datona Jackson appeared set to become a USC Trojan. Now, he'll be suiting up for their crosstown rival.
Jackson, rated a three-star JUCO defensive end, committed to the Bruins on Wednesday. Prior to Tuesday, however, he had been pledged to the Trojans.
That was before USC head coach Clay Helton pulled his offer from Jackson on Tuesday—the day before National Signing Day. Helton told Jackson that the reason for rescinding the offer was because of Jackson's recruiting visit to Oregon last Friday.
“It’s cool,” Jackson told The Desert Sun of USC's decision.
