USC Football Recruiting: Javon Kinlaw Sets Announcement Date

Some families open Christmas presents on Christmas Eve and the Trojan Family is hoping that’ll be the case for Signing Day Eve, as junior college defensive lineman Javon Kinlaw is set to announce his college choice.

The 6-foot-6, 305-pound big man tweeted on Monday that his choice between USC and South Carolina will be coming on Tuesday night, Jan. 31.

Kinlaw is the No. 11 junior college player for 2017 and the No. 2 defensive end in that pool.

Since he is based in Goose Creek, South Carolina, the Gamecocks have been the favorites to land his signature from the beginning, but USC was able to bring him in for an official visit in the middle of January, boosting their hopes in the process.
