Linebacker Osa Masina commits to USC over UCLA, Arizona State

Linebacker Osa Masina picked USC in an announcement ceremony Friday morning, leaving UCLA and Arizona State hats on the table at Brighton High, just outside of Salt Lake City.

Rated one of the top three outside linebackers in the country by both Scout.com and Rivals.com, Masina is considered the top recruit in Utah — finishing with 97 tackles, 10 sacks and an interception as a senior.

The Bruins are also awaiting a decision today from receiver Ryan Newsome, who is picking between UCLA and Texas.
