OL Jeremy Galten (San Mateo JC), LB Dallas Kelley (Chaffey JC, photo right) and long snapper Peter McBride (Chapparal High School) will all strengthen the Trojans squad at positions of need.Click here for more info on the student-athletes.
With the departure of Tyron Smith, Kris O'Dowd and Butch Lewis from the offensive line, Galten (6'4" and 285 lbs.) will provide immediate help. Kelley (6'0" and 230 lbs.) should do the same for a linebacking corps that will miss Malcolm Smith and Michael Morgan.
Last year, USC had no recognized back-up long snapper, so Peter McBride should slot in behind junior Chris Pousson.
The Trojans have now signed nine early entrants, who will be available to start practicing during spring football.
