2018 Gardena Serra HS ATH Bryan Addison arrived at USC's first Rising Stars Camp with an impressive national ranking on the Rivals.com network. A top 200 prospect is one of the most talented kids in the entire country. But at USC's camp, he showed that he might actually be underrated.
Addison caught touchdown passes and interceptions on Howard Jones field playing both receiver and defensive back. And after USC's camp, the coaches made sure he knew he was a priority target.
"They told me I could play anywhere on the field, be anything I want to be as a Trojan," Addison said when asked what USC's coaches told him after the Rising Stars Camp.
When asked about the impression he left on the coaching staff, Addison said he thought it was a big one.
"They noticed what I can do," Addison said. "They saw me improve from what I was last year. They noticed what I can do. They noticed what I can be and where I improved from last year's Rising Stars Camp."
And because USC is showing even more interest in him, Addison says he feels even more interested in USC.
"Yes it does, it intrigues me more to be a Trojan," Addison said of his feelings after the camp. "I've always wanted to be a Trojan. When I was younger, it was a dream school. And watching Reggie Bush and them play together, I always wanted to be them."
But USC could have some competition for the 6-foot-5 and 175-pound prospect. The Trojans are a part of his top seven and could have even more competition soon.
After his big performance at the Rising Stars Camp, Addison received scholarship offers from Michigan and Ohio State.
"It was big, it was a dream," Addison said when asked about those two offers. "I didn't believe I was ever going to get those offers. So getting offers from both those prestigious schools makes me feel like I'm a big athlete."
No one will know exactly where those two programs stand with Addison for a while. He doesn't plan to release another list of favorite schools until much later.
"Not anytime soon but most likely when the season starts," Addison said when asked about his next top list.
Addison, who USC is recruiting as a receiver and a safety, also doesn't plan to make a commitment anytime soon. He plans to make an announcement on National Signing Day.
As for future plans, Addison will participate in the Opening and he might also visit another Pac-12 school soon.
"I might be going to ASU," Addison said when asked about upcoming visits.
