THE LATEST: USC Cornerback Commit Shamar Arnoux (8/3)
Three-star cornerback Shamar Arnoux took an official visit to Auburn June 14-16 with Carrollton (GA) teammate and five-star USC QB commit Julian “JuJu” Lewis.
USC offered the No. 498 overall ranked player by the On3 Industry Ranking the day his Auburn visit concluded.
“Coach (Doug) Belk was one the first coaches to offer me my sophomore while he was defensive coordinator at Houston. USC is a prestigious program with a lot of great history, so I wanted to check it out,” said Arnoux.
Less than a week after earning the offer from Belk and the Trojans, he was on a visit to USC. A few days later Arnoux announced his commitment to the Trojans on June 26.
“Hearing about the opportunities of life after football at USC was a big deal,” Arnoux said. “It’s not all about football for me. I also like how they’ve got leadership programs and I think I could fit in a scheme.
“Coach Belk definitely likes my physicality, aggressiveness, my man-to-man coverage and my patience a the line. He feels like my personality will be a great fit in their DB room and a good fit for the program.”
D’Anton Lynn
Although Coach Belk is Arnoux’s main contact at USC, he also communicates twice a week with head coach Lincoln Riley, D’Anton Lynn and also talks with Gavin Morris.
Arnoux shared his thoughts on USC’s first-year defensive coordinator Lynn.
“I can definitely say I like being in a room with him,” said Arnoux. “I can definitely can sense and feel his experience in the NFL,” Arnoux said. “And you know USC’s gonna run the NFL scheme on defense now.”
Returning to USC
Arnoux hasn’t scheduled a return visit to USC, but his plan is to be back in Los Angeles at some point early on in the season. Carrollton has a Bye week September 27 and the Trojans face Wisconsin on September 28 at the Coliseum.
Arnoux’s Offers
Along with the Trojans, Arnoux holds additional offers from Georgia, Auburn, Florida St., LSU, Colorado, Clemson, Texas A&M, Miami, Florida, Kentucky, Ole Miss and many more.
