Taylor Tatum, nation’s No. 1 running back, sets USC official visit

USC will get its chance to impress a top-tier running back.

Taylor Tatum has a decision to make. The 5-foot-11, 205-pound five-star Texas native from Longview High School has scheduled three of his official visits to Oklahoma, Michigan and USC.

Taylor Tatum has nearly 40 scholarship offers. As a junior, the dynamic Texan carried the ball 209 times for 1,840 rushing yards and 36 total touchdowns, averaging 8.9 yards per carry.

Tatum, a multi-sport athlete who plays baseball and runs track and field, has a lot to offer to any collegiate athletic program. On the diamond, Tatum earned Co-Sophomore of the Year honors in 2022, playing second base as well as the outfield, with an average exit velocity of 87.6 mph and an outfield throw speed of 85 mph, according to his Prep Baseball Report page.

USC landed another top dual-sport athlete in Deuce Robinson this season; look for Tatum to possibly be the next in line.

He will visit USC (June 2), Oklahoma (June 16) and Michigan (June 24) and is still working on setting up his trips to Georgia, Texas and Texas A&M.
