Shirley visits USC, makes plans for signing day

According to USC’s Rivals.com site, Kaiser linebacker Josh Shirley said that he is going to announce his college choice on Fox Sports for National Signing Day next Wednesday. The article, which can be accessed here with a Rivals.com subscription, also outlined his official visit to USC this weekend and his plans between now and National Signing Day.

Shirley confirmed that he is visiting Miami (Fla) next weekend and also confirmed that he’s scheduled an in-home visit with new USC head coach Lane Kiffin for the day before NSD. Shirley also discussed his trip, notably his interactions with USC defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin, who showed him tapes of former Tampa Bay Buccaneers Pro Bowl linebacker Derrick Brooks.

“It was the whole nine-yards,” said Shirley. “Just being compared to (Derrick) Brooks is an honor. I think I’d be comfortable on either side – (SAM or WILL).”

We’ll continue to keep you posted on Shirley – the top uncommitted prospect left in the county – as we head closer to Signing Day.
