Name: Dillon Baxter
Position: Running Back
Class: Freshman
Age: 18
High School: Mission Bay (San Diego)
Comparison: Inevitably...Reggie Bush. He's an all-purpose explosive back from San Diego.
Prep Career: He completed 102-of-166 passes (61.4%) for 1,968 yards with 26 TDs and just 7 interceptions and ran for a San Diego record 2,984 yards on 261 carries (11.4 avg.) with 50 TDs (he also caught a TD pass) while accounting for a state record 79 touchdowns on offense, had 2 interceptions and scored twice on defense and returned 9 punts for 117 yards (13.0 avg.) and 11 kickoffs for 179 yards (16.3 avg.) in 2009. Mission Bay went 13-0 and won the CIF San Diego Division IV title in 2009.
Fall Camp: Baxter arrived at USC in the spring and became an immediate YouTube sensation with his gamebreaking skills. However, this fall has been a bumpy adjustment to stardom. Baxter will be suspended for the Hawaii game for violating team rules, but he's improved his attitude since the setback.
In his own words: "Just be responsible, do what you need to do and stop acting like a knucklehead," Baxter said were the lessons he learned from this incident.
