USC football recruiting: Four-star ATH Denzel Burke names USC in Top 5

If you’re a highly-rated athlete with positional versatility in the United States right now, chances are USC football is hot on your tail.

That’s what it feels like at least after the Trojans made the Top 5 for four-star Saguaro athlete Denzel Burke.

Burke announced his Top 5 with a graphic on Twitter, including USC along with Ohio State, Colorado, Oregon and Washington. The likes of LSU, Texas, Auburn, Nebraska and ASU, who appeared in his Top 10 at the start of April, didn’t make the cut.

The list creates a bit of urgency in the recruiting realm as Burke will end up with a conference rival unless the Buckeyes whisk him out of the west.
