Tate Martell, Tyjon Lindsey, 5-star teammates, likely USC Trojans package; Oregon Ducks interested

The similarities between class of 2017 five-star wide receiver Tyjon Lindsey and De'Anthony Thomas are impossible to ignore.

The 5-foot-9, 165-pound prospect might be the closest thing to Thomas the country has seen since the dynamic playmaker electrified the Oregon backfield with his dazzling array of spins and cuts - and Lindsey is hardly shying away from the lofty comparison.

In the eighth grade Lindsey's football team wore a variation of an Oregon jersey and the diminutive back intentionally chose the No. 6.

The Kansas City Chiefs playmaker and Lindsey have even spoken to one another on Facetime.

Now, the pair appear to be on a similar recruiting track, as Lindsey has the USC Trojans out in front with the Oregon Ducks threatening.
