The Duce Robinson saga is almost over. The elite tight end recruit with two-sport aspirations in football and baseball had said he would announce his college destionation no later than April 1. That is just a few days away.
Tuesday night, it was reported that Robinson will make his decision on the evening of Thursday, March 30.
USC doesn’t need a tight end. It does need — and can always use — dynamic, ultra-skilled offensive players to fit into Lincoln Riley’s offense, surrounded by other supreme performers.
Robinson could be a tight end for USC in much the same way that Kyle Pitts was a tight end for the Florida Gators under coach Dan Mullen (like Riley, another gifted play-designer) and quarterback Kyle Trask.
That Florida team scored 46 points against Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide in the 2020 SEC Championship Game. Robinson in Riley’s offense would make the Trojans that much harder to stop. There’s no doubt Robinson would take something good and make it clearly better.
The Trojans hope to finish this recruitment, unlike the Josh Conerly recruitment which slipped through their fingers in the spring of 2022. We talked about Duce Robinson at The Voice of College Football.
Be sure to catch the new USC show at The Voice of College Football, Trojans Conquest Live with Tim Prangley and Rick Anaya, Sundays at 8 Eastern and 5 Pacific.
Five-star tight end Duce Robinson will finally reveal his college choice Thursday at 6:30 pm MST. Will it be Georgia or USC? https://t.co/jJEeZwrUkt pic.twitter.com/rMaclaqxgc
