Very recently, Elliott told Matt Clare of Rivals that the Trojans were his top school, so his commitment to his home-town school comes is likely a solid shock to USC, who appeared to be in the driver's seat to land the 6-foot-4, 305 pound prospect.
However, don't give up hope just yet USC football fans. There's still plenty of time between now and next year's National Signing Day -- giving the Trojans an opportunity to flip him in the meantime.
