LOS ANGELES--Marcus Gilmour, a 6-8 outside hitter from Santa Ynez (Calif.) High, has signed a national letter of intent with the USC men's volleyball team, Trojan head coach Pat Powers announced today.

Gilmour earned 1998 All-CIF Division III second team and All-League first team honors as Santa Ynez advanced to the CIF finals. He also participated in the 1998 Junior Olympics, where he helped his team to a ninth-place finish.
