It’s official! Athlete Ykili Ross signed a National Letter of Intent for USC on Signing Day, giving the Trojans a possible two-way playmaker.

The Trojans won out and ultimately got Ross’ signature despite a pair of visits to Arizona State and Oregon.

Ross is the No. 8 rated cornerback and No. 15 player in California according to the 247Sports composite. Rivals rates him as the No. 8 players in the state while ESPN lists him as the No. 24 athlete available. Scout has him ranked No. 7 at cornerback.

There’s a very real possibility that Ross could play both offense and defense on an as needed basis, much like Adoree’ Jackson did in 2014.

While it is unlikely that Ross will burst onto the scene and earn a starting job the way Jackson did, he is a gifted enough athlete to make his mark wherever he gets in the game.

He might even end up at safety, given the thin numbers there.
