The USC Trojans held their first big recruiting weekend of the month of June. Everyone in the college football industry is aware of the importance of June in the recruiting world. This is the time to make a big impression in the off-season, after spring ball and before the season to come. This is a time where team coaches can really focus on recruiting before August camp starts and the season takes priority. Potential clients know they are getting the school’s full attention. Notable about USC’s big football recruiting weekend was the presence of Lincoln Riley employee Taylor Mays as part of the festivities.
Mays is not a position coach on the 2024 team, but he stayed and stayed at USC rather than try to get a secondary or defensive coaching job at another program. Mays has a bright future in the coaching business. It won’t be long before he gets a chance to coach defensive backs, which could be a stepping stone on the path to a defensive coordinator role several years down the road. Mays whipped the USC secondary into shape before the Holiday Bowl win over Louisville. If Doug Belk or any other member of the team leaves for another job, Mays could be the obvious replacement if he stays. We’re not predicting so, but that possibility is exciting for USC because Mays shows all the signs of being a true coach.
