On Matt Corral’s Commitment

Does it make sense for Matt Corral to commit to USC two years before he graduates? Clay Helton said he wanted to take one quarterback from that class. Here’s why it might appeal to Corral: Sam Darnold will be a redshirt junior when Corral enrolls. So if Corral redshirts, he might wait only one year to start. Or he might get a chance to start as a freshman if Darnold goes pro early.

This assumes Corral beats out whoever else is playing quarterback. And it assumes Corral comes to USC. I’ve seen him play once and I liked his grit. He also had Michael Pittman, who I think is the best receiver in USC’s class. So next year will be interesting to monitor especially if Oaks Christian upgrades its schedule.

  1. I saw him play on tape and I thought the kid was great. He has a much better arm than Kessler and he’s much more mobile.

  2. Maybe the kid wants to avoid the Circus, the harassment of recruiting tactics, and since USC offered him , why not commit early, it’s a D1 School , great exposure to go Pro, Their degree holds allot of weight, the school is local so family can go to games, it’s a no brainer!!!!

      • Well Johnathan I’m short on patients for nonsense, if this kid was my son, the Circus would Not be coming to my town, and would hope his parents would feel the same way…

  3. Read the story about him on rivals/USC and it explains why he committed so early (free). It’s a good lengthy story.

  4. Addition to yesterday’s: “This Kid is a Lock” !

    This Kid bleeds “Cardinal & Gold” !!

    And that is rare !!!

    If there is any sign of a return to Championship Level Football, this is it !

    And Clay Helton will lead the Way…

  5. Ted, please allow me to help you “connect” with Reality…….John David Booty was a Trojan STALLION QB !!! He led the Trojans to not ONE but TWO CONSECUTIVE Rose Bowl Games, one in 2007, and the other in 2008. Scores: In 2007, USC 32-Michigan 18. JDBooty connects on four TD passes !!!; In 2008, USC 49-Illinois 17. JDBooty connects on three TD passes !!! is this simple enough for you, Bubba Ted ?
