USC lands local 5-star recruit as part of new Big Ten regime

USC tennis adds yet another 5-star prospect to a young, exciting team in hopes of bringing home a Big Ten title and much more.

USC has a lot of intriguing teams on the playing fields right now. There is JuJu Watkins and the women’s basketball team. Jayden Maiava is the big story for the football team. Don’t forget a team that may have slipped under the average Trojan fan’s radar screen: men’s tennis.

While out of season, the tennis team is getting better and better this offseason. It recently landed a top recruit, five-star prospect Nathan Suh. He is a homegrown talent from Orange, Calif., and he already has USC ties.

In a recent interview, USC head coach Brett Masi touched on the connection while giving his thoughts on Suh:

“Nathaniel is a great young talent out of Southern California, who has been a top talent in the area over the course of his junior career from 12-years old to 18s– Nathaniel has a legacy of being a Trojan, and we are excited to continue that legacy as his mom was a Trojan.”

USC is keeping it in the family with this recruitment.

The incoming freshman has been impressive against other top-tier talent. Suh has a match record of 10-5 against other five-star recruits and an astonishing 8-1 record against four-star recruits.

Suh will join the Trojans in the fall.

While not as flashy as football or basketball, it is always good news for USC sports to land top talent.
