On Friday, Jonate Gilbert dropped his top 10 list with On3’s Hayes Fawcett. USC made the list, along with LSU, Auburn, Colorado, Tennessee, Georgia Tech, South Carolina, Clemson, North Carolina State, and Texas.
The four-star safety out of Douglass High School in Atlanta is a 6-foot-1, 175-pound free safety. He is ranked as the No. 2 overall safety and 25th overall recruit in the class according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
Gilbert has 13 tackles and an interception for his Douglass team this high school season. The Astros are 5-2 through seven games. Gilbert has added 234 total yards and a touchdown on offense at wide out.
Notably missing from his top 10 is Ohio State, whom he was committed to previously. I expect USC to be a favorite to land Gilbert, but Georgia Tech and South Carolina are the current projected favorites to land the star.

Prominent Pac-12 sports journalist thinks USC is likely to fire Alex Grinch before season’s end.
USC and Lincoln Riley need to have a plan in place if Alex Grinch coaches poorly and loses to Notre Dame.
Notre Dame’s offensive coordinator might actually be worse than Alex Grinch, a fascinating plot point heading into the October 14 renewal of Irish-Trojans.
Brent Venables is coaching Oklahoma far better this year than Lincoln Riley is coaching USC. It’s up to Riley to change that reality against Notre Dame and Utah.
