USC gets new crystal ball projection for 5-star tight end Duce Robinson

This might not be the last plot twist in Duce Robinson’s recruitment. This has been quite a roller-coaster for everyone.

USC football fans won’t complain about this turn of events. 247Sports has shifted its crystal ball projection to the Trojans for five-star tight end Duce Robinson, the prospect from the state of Arizona who would play baseball, not just football, for the Men of Troy.

Robinson’s listed position — a tight end — might suggest that his impact on a future USC offense would be limited, but this is a tight end who would stretch the field and could be deployed in all sorts of ways by Lincoln Riley to give USC tactical and positional versatility.

Imagine Robinson being used in tandem with elite speed-demon wide receivers. It would be even more of a headache for opposing linebackers and secondaries to cover the amount of real estate needed to keep up with USC’s pass catchers. Robinson could be a uniquely potent piece of a future Trojan offense … and he could help the long-dormant baseball program, which has struggled profoundly in the 21st century after being the dominant colossus of the 20th century.
