Eight USC Commits Among the On300 After Latest Rankings Update (4/15)
On Monday April 15 On3 released THE LATEST On300 and USC has eight of its 12 verbal commits among the Top 300 ranked players nationally.
There were seven ranked among the On300 prior to Monday. Cornerback Trestin Castro from Upland (CA) made his debut today at No. 282 overall. That’s a bump of nearly 400 spots, if we use his On3 Industry Ranking as the gauge.
Castro wasn’t ranked nationally by On3 until today and was No. 672 in the Industry Rankings. That ranking will dramatically change as well today.
WeAreSC saw Castro twice this Winter/Spring and there was zero doubt in our minds he was a Top 300 prospect. I actually think he’s probably still ranked a but too low.

Top Ranked USC Commit Justus Terry
Scout’s Take: “Justus Terry has a tremendous frame and build for an interior defensive line prospect. He stands in at 6-foot-5, 275 pounds with excellent weight distribution throughout his frame. He has the ability to win with first step and lateral quickness, has rare get off and leverage for a player of his stature. His bend and ability to change direction are impressive, and he’s clearly comfortable in space. He uses his length to initiate contact consistently and sheds blockers with ease. If asked to in run support, he is able to anchor and two-gap if asked to. He will need to continue to fill out and gain functional play strength at the next level but should be able to carry an extra 20-30 pounds on his frame. Ultimately, he’s a very high upside prospect who will be in consideration for a first-round selection in the NFL Draft.” — Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
