The USC Trojans have stocked up on four-star safety commitments from Calen Bullock, Anthony Beavers Jr., and Xamarion Gordon, but they have not yet landed a cornerback. That could change soon.
According to a report from 247Sports, the Trojans have offered a scholarship to Damarius McGhee, a four-star cornerback from Pensacola. USC has offered five cornerbacks a scholarship to play for the University, as they are hoping to land three of the five cornerbacks.
McGhee is no stranger to winning games, as his team went 11-1 last season. McGhee had 47 tackles, six interceptions, two of them resulting in a pick-six. He is 6 feet and 1 inch, weighing 162 pounds.
Andrew Ivins of the Miami Insider did a scouting report of McGhee:
A slender build with promising length. Essentially a utility man for his high school that does a little bit of everything lining up at cornerback, safety, wide receiver and even quarterback. Can score anytime he touches the ball and seems to always be making plays on special teams. Could probably catch passes at the FBS level, but highest ceiling appears to be on defense given coverage skills and verified testing numbers having clocked a 4.56 in the 40-yard dash and 4.25 in the short shuttle the spring before his junior season. Has shown the ability to not only flip his hips, but also jump routes. Will make a hit. Must get bigger and continue to develop as a defender, but one of the more intriguing defensive back prospects in the Sunshine State this cycle. Has the profile of someone that could eventually play on Sundays.
McGhee is one of the best options for USC at the cornerback position. He would instantly help out the defense, as the Trojans look to improve on last season’s 8-5 record.
