USC adds commitment from high-upside local prospect Andrew Williams

USC added another piece to its No. 2 class in the On3 Industry Football Team Recruiting Rankings on Wednesday, getting a pledge from EDGE Andrew Williams.
The 6-foot-5, 220-pounder out of Fremont (Calif.) chose the Trojans over offers from San Diego State and Colorado State, as well as interest from a number of other Power 4 programs.
“I’m thrilled to announce my commitment to The University of Southern California to continue my academic and athletic journey. It’s time to focus on my upcoming season,” Williams wrote on Twitter announcing the news.
As a junior, Williams totaled 80 tackles, including 10 for loss, to go along with nine sacks and three forced fumbles on defense. On the offensive side, he scored 12 all-purpose touchdowns — nine rushing and three receiving.
