Class of 2024 USC target T.A. Cunningham is one of the top junior recruits in California and the nation.
Cunningham moved to California from Georgia in the summer, but he waited weeks to have his transfer approved by the Southern Section. Four games into the season, his high school, Los Alamitos, was informed that Cunningham was deemed ineligible.
The five-star recruit has yet to play a down in California, but that’s about to change. The CIF Southern Section took action on Monday and cleared his transfer from Johns Creek (Georgia) to Los Alamitos (California). This was a moment and a decision many people had waited for, Cunningham most of all. After having to deal with the wrenching scenario of watching his teammates play and not being able to help them on the field in a helmet and pads, Cunningham will finally be able to get in the game. Physically fresh and rested, Cunningham is in position to make a very significant impact on the season for Los Alamitos.
5-star recruit T.A.Cunningham’s Atlanta family was evicted. His dad sent him to SoCal and got him an agent in hopes of a big NIL deal.
The $$ never came. The coach TA lived with was arrested. Now he is homeless, ineligible and suing.
