Clay Helton and USC land big commitment from top recruit Korey Foreman

For the first time in more than a decade, the nation’s top recruit has chosen the Trojans.

Corona Centennial defensive end Korey Foreman made his pledge to USC official during the All-American Bowl’s declaration special Saturday, after clandestinely signing with the Trojans two weeks ago at the start of the early signing window.

His signing marks the biggest recruiting victory of the Clay Helton era, at a juncture when the Trojans, fresh off a loss in the Pac-12 title game, could use one most. The decision comes one year after USC’s recruiting efforts had sunk to their lowest point in recent memory, with most of its top targets signing elsewhere and its class ranking just 64th nationally.
