The top-ranked recruit left on USC’s radar, Olaijah Griffin, gave the Trojans their biggest boost of Signing Day 2018, choosing to stay home for college.
Griffin made his announcement between USC, Tennessee, Alabama and Oregon live on ESPN2, picking the Trojans.
The Skinny
It may feel like a lifetime ago, but Griffin was actually committed to UCLA right up until the end of 2017, de-committing from the Bruins on Dec. 30. That’s when the whirlwind began, with Griffin officially visiting USC in the middle of January.
The Trojans battled with SEC challengers like Tennessee and Alabama, who each got visits from the Mission Viejo-product, but ultimately home field advantage won out.
