USC recruit Xamarion Gordon to forego senior season

Four-star USC cornerback commit Xamarion Gordon is going to forego his senior season, which was delayed thanks to the COVID-19 crisis.

A recent ruling in the state of California is postponing fall sports until at least December or January, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, and that has a lot of college commits facing a tough decision.

They could play out their final season, if and when it happens, or they could opt to forego their final year of high school eligibility, potentially clearing them up to enroll early in college.

Defensive back Xamarion Gordon, a four-star commit in the Class of 2021, already announced he will be a Trojan sooner than expected, saying he plans to forego his senior season on Twitter Tuesday evening.

Most college-bound high schoolers in California have already signed their NLI’s, which likely means Gordon will be one of many who make this decision without fall sports on the dockett.

A guaranteed spot on a college roster is too tempting to risk for a high school season, especially in these conditions, and USC will likely be happy to know that Gordon won’t be in harm’s way before he steps foot on campus ahead of the 2021 season.

With no football being actually played or practiced right now it has left us looking more into recruiting, both good and bad.  As Notre Dame and every other football program continue full steam ahead to piece together their 2021 classes, the Irish did miss out on one safety target after he announced his decision Friday.

Xamarion Gordon, a four-star safety from Warren High School in Downey, California will stay in his home state and meet up with the Fighting Irish annually.

It remains early in recruiting based off of the amount of big-time players that are yet to announce their decisions but USC is off to a very good start now with six commitments in their class and are currently ranked 11th nationally on 247Sports.  They also are the top ranked Pac-12 team on in those rankings which hasn’t been the case the last couple of seasons under Clay Helton.
