USC football recruiting: Jaylon Jones, Nigel Knott, Justin Madubuike, Max Tuapi defensive offers

Madison (Ms.) Germantown cornerback Nigel Knott received a Trojan offer, and USC is a big contender. Much of the SEC Is already on Knott, like Alabama, Kansas State, Oklahoma, LSU, Michigan, Florida State and Texas A&M. Knott is very good at quick reactions, and has that Southern speed that would be valuable in the West Coast.

Allen (Tx.) cornerback & returner Jaylon Jones has a USC offer, as the Trojans like to see versatility. Every major program like Ohio State, Michigan, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Auburn has already extended their hand, so it looks like Jones will be one of the most sought after prospect because of his ability to play multiple positions.

McKinney North (Texas) defensive tackle Justin Madubuike picked up an offer from USC after establishing a year long relationship. Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Alabama, Baylor, Duke, Ohio State, Auburn, Michigan, Texas, TCU, and plenty of other national programs have all extended offers. Madubuike looks like a monster in the making and is one of the top in-state recruit.

Salt Lake City (Ut.) Murray defensive end Maxs Tupai has his USC offer after getting blown away by the Trojans. [Justin Rowland, Rivals]. Tupai has flown under the radar so far with BYU, Utah, Pitt, Oregon State and Washington State. Tupai has to love that huge major offer.
