Tackling their first ever practices at the college level, the newest crop of USC football players could be forgiven for taking some time to settle in. However, the five early enrollees who joined the Trojans this spring have hit the ground running, according to head coach Clay Helton.
“I’ve been impressed with all five kids,” Helton said after practice on Saturday, via USC Athletics. “They’ve brought a seriousness out here to compete and they’ve brought a want-to. The future is bright for them.”
Helton singled out defensive tackle Marlon Tuipulotu, who has already drawn praise from defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast.
