Depending on who else USC gets between now and Wednesday, the Trojans could sign junior-college offensive lineman Miles Mason of El Camino College in Torrance.

Offensive guard Cyrus Hobbi said he wants to major in theater.
“I’m looking to be an actor,” he said.
He is the second commit to say he chose USC because of its theater major, the other being tailback Amir Carlisle.

Cyrus Hobbi said during his press conference today he is going to play either guard or center at USC.
“Whatever helps the team, I’m all for it,” he said.

Offensive guard Cyrus Hobbi of Scottsdale, Ariz., committed to USC.

“These coaches told me I’d be playing 51 games instead of 52,” Hobbi said.
