USC has the No. 5 recruiting class for 2017 according to ESPN and it might have just gotten a little better with a late addition to the class. Five-star kicker —- according to Kohl's Kicking camp rankings —- Chase McGrath just gave the Trojans some needed depth at the position with his official commitment yesterday:
McGrath is rated as the No. 13 kicker and punter combo in the nation by Kohl's Kicking camp and here's their description of how well he has progressed lately:
McGrath had an excellent camp at the 2016 Western Winter Showcase. He has taken the next step in both his kickoffs and his Field Goals and they are both dominant. Punting showed flashes of D1 ready as well. He has gotten stronger and the ball is jumping off his foot better than it ever has. McGrath had a solid showings at multiple Kohl's events. His FG are probably top 15 in the country. He does need to KO with a little more hang-time and distance to match his FG ability. McGrath can also punt very well and is a talented combo k/p. He gets good lift on his FG's and is able to create spirals easily in punting."
