Pierce is a safety who racked up huge numbers for Rancho Cucamonga last season. He had 97 tackles and 9 INTs and is a heavy hitter from the safety spot. He covers a ton of ground in zone coverage and has the length to break up passes with ease. He had 18 offers and chose USC over Arizona, Michigan, UCLA and Utah among others. USC, UCLA and Washington were his final three. Pierce is the third player from California in USC’s 2023 recruiting class joining [player_tooltip player_id="25419" first="Malachi" last="Nelson"] and [player_tooltip player_id="25398" first="Makai" last="Lemon"] of Los Alamitos. He is the first defensive player in the class. https://twitter.com/christianpierce/status/1520825565879554048?s=20&t=MtJ_KjLO9IW5qhc4rRZsHw <hr /> Mater Dei (Santa Ana) class of 2024 left tackle [player_tooltip player_id="147719" first="DeAndre" last="Carter"] was offered by Michigan State and Florida State this week. Carter is one of the top offensive lineman in the state for his class. He is great on double teams in the run game and is an excellent pass blocker against some of the best edge rushers in the state. He is getting close to 20 offers now including Alabama, Michigan, Oregon, Texas A&M, UCLA and USC among others. https://twitter.com/DreCarter72/status/1522010622229049344?s=20&t=MtJ_KjLO9IW5qhc4rRZsHw <hr /> Mission Bay class of 2022 quarterback [player_tooltip player_id="25351" first="Clash" last="Orsborn"] announced his commitment to Lewis and Clark College on Monday. Orsborn was one of the higher-ranked quarterbacks in San Diego for his class when this website opened up his sophomore year, but his recruiting stalled for some reason. He completed 69 percent of his passes for 2,768 yards with 43 touchdowns and just five interceptions last season. Lewis and Clark offered Orsborn in February. He also had offers from Minnesota Morris, Lakeland, Kalamazoo, and Concordia-Wisconsin among others. https://twitter.com/OrsbornClash/status/1521308938431385600?s=20&t=MtJ_KjLO9IW5qhc4rRZsHw
