USC is trying to land another linebacker, Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa. The St. John Bosco product will make his announcement on July 23. USC is battling Notre Dame and Ohio State for KVA. If that recruitment doesn’t produce a victory, this linebacker recruitment in Virginia offers the Trojans a chance to compensate.

Chris Cole is one of the reasons why I drive the entire country to visit just about every top player in person. I like everyone else had a rated as a 3* Until I saw him. In person and on film Super impressive. A few months ago immediately bumped him up to a 4*+ and most followed. https://t.co/WcTnAHSpp0
