Matt Fink to USC: Trojans Land 4-Star QB Prospect
Over the years, the USC Trojans have seemingly had a revolving door of blue-chip quarterbacks come through the school. Matt Fink will be the next in line after committing to head coach Steve Sarkisian's team.
He confirmed the news on Twitter:
According to 247Sports' composite rankings, Fink is the No. 7 dual-threat quarterback and No. 223 player overall in the 2016 recruiting class. His decision to play at USC doesn't come as a major surprise. 247Sports' crystal ball predictions had the Trojans listed as an 83 percent favorite.
Fink spoke in March about why USC would be such a good fit, per Gerard Martinez of USCFootball.com:
"For one, [USC] is in Southern California. That's a major factor because it's close and I love California and don't want to leave California.
I also like Coach [Clay] Helton [USC's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach] and have developed a good relationship with him. I also got a chance to sit down with [current USC quarterback] Cody Kessler, and he gave me some great advice on recruiting. He also gave me insight on USC and why he loves the school so much.
"
Aram Tolegian of the Pasadena Star-News thinks Fink is one of the more underrated QBs in the 2016 class:
Sarkisian will certainly have a hard time finding playing time for all of his quarterbacks. Ricky Town, the No. 6 pro-style QB in the class of 2015, will be a freshman this year, while Max Browne and Jalen Greene are also waiting in the wings.
Clearly, the Trojans shouldn't need to worry about the potential lack of a talented signal-caller for the next four-plus years.
