The 3-star wide receiver out of Temecula, California, announced that he is committing to USC.
He is the 72nd-ranked WR in the 2027 class, according to Rivals Industry Rankings, but don’t let the ranking fool you. He is an extremely talented WR who is a great addition for the Trojans.

Coach Henny interviewed for the Cowboys defensive line job, but he will remain with USC as the Cowboys have hired Marcus Dixon.
Huge for the Trojans, as barring something unforeseen, the defensive staff appears to be set in place ✌️

USC Eric Henderson was a candidate for a job on the Cowboys staff, but he will remain with the Trojans.

Looks like the rest of the USC staff will stay in place ✌️ https://t.co/7tlkH5oMZH - Load More
