Tajh Ariza talks about USC

With plenty of offers from top programs including USC, UCLA, Oregon and Kansas, among others, the Trojans have the highest chance of landing Ariza, according to On3.

He spoke to the publisher about the program, commending their atmosphere:

"I went there for a football game. They showed a lot of love. Like, when I walked onto the field, all the fans were showing me love. So, you know, it was cool over there. The atmosphere was crazy. They played Wisconsin, I think, that game, and there was hella people there.

"The coaches tell me how they like the versatility of my game. They think I can come in and be the guy. Just make plays for others and make everyone better.”

Tajh Ariza still has another year to decide on his collegiate career.
