The Bishop Amat High School football pipeline to USC is back up and running.

Standout wide receiver Tyler Vaughns became the second big-time Lancers’ recruit this summer to give a verbal to USC. Vaughns announced his decision on Wednesday at a lunchtime ceremony in front of his Amat classmates.

“It feels like home to me and it’s good to stay local,” Vaughns said when asked why he chose the Trojans. “My parents can come see the games. My parents blessed me with the opportunity to get here to this stage, so I felt like I could give them an opportunity to see me play and not have to go across the country.”

Indeed, Vaughns was a national recruit. The 6-3 receiver had 15 offers and is considered to be on the top receiver on the West Coast. He narrowed his selection down to Alabama, Georgia, Washington and USC.

In late July, Vaughns’ Amat teammate Trevon Sidney, also a receiver, gave a verbal commitment to USC.

Amat is no stranger to sending its top talent the Trojans’ way. In the late 1980s and throughout the ’90s, many former Lancers played their college ball at USC. The school is also famous for sending legendary quarterback Pat Haden and receiver JK McKay on to stellar careers for the Trojans.

Vaughns caught a school record 83 passes last season for 1,183 yards and 12 touchdowns.
