The USC defense played some rough and tumble defense Saturday knocking out quarterback Perry Orth for the rest of spring with a broken collarbone.  On hand to watch the scrimmage with a focus on the defense was DE Justin Thomas 6'5" 255lbs of Spanish Fort, AL.  USC coach Will Muschamp and defensive coordinator Travaris Robinson are making  a strong effort to land Thomas and he felt that Saturday.

“I liked what the coaches had to say to me with how I would fit in their system and the things they are building,” Thomas said.  “They said I could play D-end, D-tackle and they just said they really wanted me to come up there.  I like the way they run their practice because they hit every day, contact every day.”

Thomas has also been to Alabama, Auburn and Tennessee and is going to LSU April 9th.   He said the USC visit should give the Gamecocks some traction with him moving forward.

“It put them in my mind,” he said adding that Muschamp and Robinson did not recruit him when they were at Auburn.   Thomas’ father played at Alabama and the Crimson Tide are believed to be the team to beat though he did not name a favorite and won’t make a decision until after his season.

Thomas also has offers from Tennessee, Iowa State, Samford, South Alabama, Troy, UAB and Florida State.
