Since hiring Donte Williams, USC has done a tremendous job recruiting the cornerback
position. Two of his recruits — Jaeden Gould of Bergen Catholic (Oradell, N.J.) and Domani
Jackson of Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) — are featured in our look at the top 10 high school football cornerbacks.
And while the Trojans land two players on the list, four remain uncommitted, including Denver Harris of North Shore (Houston) who checks in at No. 3 on the list.
And the No. 1 corner also is the No. 1 receiver — Travis Hunter of Collins Hill (Suwanee, Ga.). The MaxPreps National Junior Player of the Year led the Eagles to their first state title appearance. The five-star impacts the game on both side of the ball with 137 receptions last season to pair with eight interceptions.
See the complete list below.
