Four-star quarterback Brandon Dawkins (Westlake Village, Calif./Oaks Christian) might have been the most notable signal-caller in attendance, given his evolving status with the Trojans. Orgeron dropped by Dawkins’ school on a number of occasions during the evaluation period and, though an offer has yet to be extended, Dawkins appears to be an option in case top target Keller Chryst (Palo Alto, Calif./Palo Alto) commits elsewhere.
“The camp went really good. It was probably one of the better workouts all around I’ve had in a while now, and how great for it to be at the USC camp in front of (coach Lane) Kiffin and the rest of the staff,” Dawkins said. “I worked with coach (Clay) Helton all day, and he was loving how I was throwing it and was very impressed with my footwork. The thing he said he loves the most is my ability to stretch a play, to run, make people miss and be a threat when I run also.
“They still haven’t offered, but Coach Helton said I am definitely at the top of their board and said he’d hate to have to play against me. He also said Coach Kiffin loves what I can do, and they’re going to wait until after the Rising Stars Camp [when] they’ll know what they’re doing.”
