C.J. Pollard Commits to USC Football and Twitter Reacts

Four-star safety C.J. Pollard committed to USC football at Nike’s The Opening camp in Beaverton, Oregon prompting social media to jump in with comments and praise on the Trojans’ newest addition.

Pollard is the son of Trojan defensive back Marvin Pollard and is the latest in the line of Serra products to make USC their college home.

The 6-foot-1, 180 pound defender is the No. 10 safety in the nation. Capable of playing either safety or cornerback, Pollard is an aggressive addition to the 2016 class.

USC three-way phenom Adoree’ Jackson is a former teammate of Pollard’s from Serra and took a moment to welcome the newest member of the Trojan family.

Pollard is playing this week for Avery Huffman, the daughter of Scout’s Brandon Huffman who was recently diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor. He wore a hat with a message for Avery before putting on his USC cap.
