Four-star tight end and three-star shooting guard Michael Trigg from Carrollwood (FL.) has named USC among his top-3 schools, alongside LSU and the other USC, South Carolina.
Trigg intends to play both football and basketball at the next level, and is being recruited as a two-sport athlete at all three of his final schools.

It was first reported back in June that Trigg was being offered a chance to be a two-sport athlete at USC, and it appears that helped land them among the top-3.
Trigg would provide much-needed depth to the Trojans tight end group, which already lost Jack Yary, a 2020 recruit who recently decommitted and instead joined the University of Washington.
Trigg is the No. 5 ranked tight end in the class of 2021, and No. 152 overall according to 247Sports, who classified him as “more of a big receiver” than an actual tight end.
Less is known about Trigg’s potential impact on the hardwood, although the Trojans have lost a ton of guard play in the last year or so, and could easily use more depth at the very least.
Replacing USC’s last two-sport athlete, Drake London, will be no easy feat, but if Trigg decides to join the Trojans he will most likely be a fan favorite in short order.
