USC is in the top 3 with TE Michael Trigg of Lake Wales, FL. He also has LSU and Southern Cal in his top three. Trigg also is a basketball prospect and wants to play both sports in college. All three of his finalists are on board with that. Trigg cut seven other schools from his top ten. Those are Michigan State, Auburn, North Carolina, Kentucky, Penn State, Ohio State and Illinois. USC tight ends coach Bobby Bentley is looking for the Gamecocks next Hayden Hurst. Trigg is in the mold. “They like the fact that I’m versatile,” Trigg said. “I can flex out and also put my hand in the dirt. I guess they are saying there’s not too many people like that.” Trigg caught 82 passes last season for 1232 yards and 16 touchdowns.
