Petite is ranked the seventh-best tight end in the country by Rivals.com and fills a need with Bryce Dixon and the academically ineligible Jalen Cope-Fitzpatrick the only scholarship tight ends scheduled to return next season. USC is also hosting recruits this weekend. Cornerback Ykili Ross of Riverside Poly, defensive end Tyrone Wheatley Jr., of Buffalo, N.Y., and offensive lineman Roy Hemsley of Windward of Los Angeles are scheduled to visit. Wheatley’s father, Tyrone, played running back at Michigan and is currently an assistant coach with the Buffalo Bills. Hemsley is already committed to USC and will enroll next month. Williams `disappointed’ Defensive end Leonard Williams was not thrilled with being a second-team selection on the Walter Camp All-American team. “Disappointed,” Williams tweeted. He also sent out a tweet that said “Haha. Smh (shaking my head). 2nd.” The Walter Camp team include defensive linemen Vic Beasley (Clemson) Joey Bosa (Ohio State), Nate Orchard (Utah) and Shane Ray (Missouri). All four ranked in the top eight in the nation in sacks and had more sacks than Williams. Sarkisian said Williams’ numbers (71 tackles, six sacks) would be better if he did not play so much as an interior lineman. “So many times people get caught looking at numbers and a lot of guys this year had a lot of sacks,” Sarkisian said. “For playing on the interior like Leonard does, it’s more than just sheer numbers. I thought he had a great season. He fought through an ankle injury and fought through a shoulder thing.” Kessler focused Quarterback Cody Kessler said he is not worried right now about whether he will turn pro early. “All I’m thinking about is Nebraska. Nebraska, Nebraska, Nebraska,” Kessler said. Game plan starts soon Sarkisian said he would start installing a game plan for Nebraska on Wednesday once USC gets through most of final exams. “I don’t think it’s fair to them to dump a game plan on them (during finals),” Sarkisian said. Nebraska is 9-3 but Sarkisian said like USC, the Cornhuskers experienced some tough losses. “They’re probably looking at two of those games and thinking they could have won those and been 11-1 and playing for the Big Ten championship,” he said. “We know we’re going to get a great shot from them.” Nebraska lost to Minnesota 28-24 after leading 24-14. The Cornhuskers lost to Michigan State, 27-22. Sarkisian on Anderson Sarkisian was asked what he thought about Oregon State hiring Wisconsin coach Gary Anderson this week. “Another really good coach,” Sarkisian said. “I’ve got a lot of respect for Gary. I think it just speaks volumes for our conference. It just keeps getting better. “And that’s no disrespect to (former) Coach (Mike) Riley, I think he’s going to do a great job at Nebraska.” Newsroom Guidelines News Tips Contact Us Report an Error Tags: football usc USC football Scott Wolf | reporter Scott Wolf covers USC and the Pac-12 Conference for the Southern California News Group. swolf@scng.com Follow Scott Wolf @insideusc Join the Conversation We invite you to use our commenting platform to engage in insightful conversations about issues in our community.
