USC got off to a fast start in the early signing period with ESPN 300 quarterback Jaxson Dart committing to the Trojans on Wednesday.
Dart is the No. 73 ranked recruit overall. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound signal caller from Draper, Utah, is the second highest-ranked commit in the Trojans' class. He chose USC over UCLA, Arizona state and BYU.
"I think USC has always been an exciting school, especially for kids on the West Coast," Dart said. "I think people are starting to understand their culture and what they want to do. A lot of kids want to be a part of it and buy in and obviously it's working because they're in the Pac-12 championship, they're undefeated and it's just something that's super exciting.
