USC signee OL Cory Helms of Alpharetta, GA, who is transferring from Wake Forest, is hoping to avoid sitting out this

season by appealing for relief from the NCAA. Helms said one of the main reasons for his transfer is to be closer to his home and his ailing grandmother. Helms said Wednesday the appeal is in progress. “We’re putting together the final stuff to send to them,” he said. “I’ll talk to (USC) compliance in a couple of days and then send it on to the NCAA. They said there’s definitely a shot (to win the appeal) but there’s no telling.” In the meantime, Helms has been working out to be ready for this season, or at the least to get a head start for the 2016 campaign.
