His spring visits can be Ole Miss (March 21), Alabama (March 23), Oklahoma (April 6) and Nebraska (April 13).
USC linebacker coach Matt Entz has made some extent of stressing fundamentals in his educating and communication method. USC will attempt to instill good habits and sound method in its incoming linebackers. That is one thing the 2023 USC workers manifestly didn’t do with Alex Grinch as defensive coordinator. Grinch was entrusted with the duty of creating younger Louisiana-based linebacker Tackett Curtis, a prospect who generated appreciable hype. Grinch and his 2023 defensive workers couldn’t domesticate the fitting habits and instincts in Curtis. USC defensive gamers had been usually confused earlier than the snap and didn’t reply correctly to Grinch’s scheme or his basic teaching strategies. The hope is that new linebacker recruits, underneath Entz, will reply so much higher to the brand new teaching USC has introduced in.
