Another One Bites the Dust...Vols QB Hopeful...that is

QB Jesse Scroggins confirmed the reports that had circled around his recruiting for weeks: He’s committed to Southern California.
Scroggins’ announcement went public on ESPN on Thursday afternoon. The statement was taped at the Elite 11 football camp on Tuesday.
“Basically, the decision came down to, I’m going to USC,” the 6-foot-3, 200-pounder said on College Football Live.
UT was thought to be in the lead earlier this summer until Scroggins won a skills competition at a USC camp that earned him a scholarship offer from the Trojans.
Florida was also in the hunt but long thought to be trailing UT and USC.
“It came down to 3 colleges mainly : Florida, Tennessee and USC,” the star quarterback from Lakewood High (Calif.) School said. “The things about Florida, I like the offense, because it is basically based on my high school. It’s Florida and it’s a beautiful place.”
As for UT, Scroggins said his mother’s family, which resides in Memphis, was a factor.
“It’s my mother’s home state,” Scroggins said. “That was a plus for me. 100,000 fans (in Neyland Stadium), that’s a great thing.”
USC, however, held the strongest family tie. Lakewood is about a 20-minute drive from USC’s campus.
“It’s close to my home, where I live,” Scroggins said. “That’s in my backyard.”
