There was a time when Stephen Carr could’ve gone anywhere.
As a five-star high school prospect growing up in Gardena, Calif., Carr fielded scholarship overtures from Alabama, Notre Dame, Michigan, Oregon, and a long list of other college football powers. But it was the Southern California offer that he coveted — the opportunity to play for his favorite college football team that captured his focus from a young age.
“USC,” Carr said Tuesday, ‘that was my dream school.”
Carr made as much clear when he committed to the Trojans days after the program offered him a scholarship in March 2015 while he was still a sophomore in high school.
