USC’s A’Marion Peterson makes generous gesture to high school teammates

USC’s A’Marion Peterson is already a winner after his classy, thoughtful recognition of high school teammates.

Here’s a feel-good story for everyone at USC in a summer which has been difficult and frustrating: USC running back A’Marion Peterson is taking his NIL money from the EA Sports College Football 25 game and donating it to his former teammates at Hirschi High School in Wichita Falls, Texas.

The Times Record newspaper has more:

After opting in to be part of the new College Football 25 video game being released by EA Sports this week, Peterson received $600 as part of the company’s name, image and likeness agreement with the more than 11,000 NCAA Division I football players who chose to be part of the game.

What an impressive thing to do. It is very easy to root for A’Marion Peterson on the field this fall at USC.

A’Marion Peterson brings the 1-2 punch at RB for the Trojans’ 2023 class

Top-end speed is a featured asset of this new USC running back commit.

Wichita Falls (Texas) Hirschi running back A’Marion Peterson, a four-star and the No. 25 player at his position (RB), wil be a USC Trojan in 2023.

Peterson is one if the most productive running backs in the 2023 recruitng class. The Texas native ran for 1,817 yards on 238 carries and scored an insane 28 touchdowns during his junior season.

He followed that up in his senior season with 330 yards and 6 touchdowns in only two games as he battled injuries all season. Peterson finished his high school career second in all time rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, total offense and points scored. In 47 games Peterson had 5,048 rushing yards with 62 touchdowns.

Peterson is a very physical running back with great top-end speed. He has a track record of very strong production versus Texas 4A competition, which includes more than 1,800 yards on 7.63 yards per carry as a junior.

Peterson has a good combination of play speed and power that could put him on the field a lot in the next two years at SC. I don’t expect to see Peterson get major carries yet, but by Year 2 in the offense, expect considerable production from him.
