      Hooray, USC got a solid LB transfer from Georgetown today, name Gian Carlo Rufu.  Grad transfer, only one year eligibility.  Rufu, 6-2, 232 lbs is from Hawaii, Punahou HS, State D Player of Year.  I think he will be the starter at MLB in 2026.  Finally got a good LB via TP…  Cheers

      My does Georgetown have a football team?  I just remember them for those long shorts down to their ankles in basketball.  Good find.

        Bruddah Daystalker, yeah it’s a big ? mark due to GT playing in a small league and conference.  But, many good FB players come from small leagues and lower D-1 schools from da FBS and FCS divisions.  GC Rufo was a star LB at GT and when he played at Punahou HS, Hawaii.  Many times these good FB players just slip thru the cracks in recruiting.

        Only found his HS HL tape; he looks like a top LB.  After seeing his HL tape, I believe we scored on a starting MLB.  USC needed LB’s…   Cheers

      No way.  There is no chance this guy is the starter.  Unless usc has major injuries. I hope im wrong.  Feel free to save my post

        Here’s the LB room.

        Returning LB.  Ta Mere Robinson, Desman Stephens, Elijah Newby, Jayden Walker

        TP LB.  Deven Bryant, Gian Carlo Rufo.

        True Freshman.  Talanoa Ili, Shaun Scott, Tyler Johnson

        MLB.  Rufo has the most experience and was All League.  I’m predicting Rufo beats out Newby and Stephens.  There is no way the true freshmen LB’s are starting.  Maybe Ili and Scott will see some playing time, but only as in mop up situations.

        WLB.  I think Bryant beats out, Robinson, Walker.
