He took an official visit to USC the last weekend before the dead period in mid December.

The Trojans have three defensive backs signed in this 2022 class in five-star CB Domani Jackson, four-star CB Fabian Ross and four-star safety Zion Branch, but they continue to look for more help at the position.
They hosted Colorado CB transfer Christian Gonzalez for an official visit Tuesday-Wednesday and offered 2022 three-star CB Kylon Griffin, a former Mississippi State commit from Montgomery, Ala., on Wednesday.
