USC Football: 5 incoming freshmen who could start in 2018

The highest-rated prospect in USC’s 2018 class, according to the composite rankings, is five-star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. If that name sounds familiar, it’s probably because it is. The St. Browns have been dubbed college football’s version of the Ball family by Sports Illustrated.

So who are the other St. Browns? Equanimeous St. Brown was a receiver for Notre Dame who is one of the top wide outs in the 2018 NFL Draft class. Osiris St. Brown currently plays wide out for Stanford but did not see action as a true freshman in 2017. Now, Amon-Ra might be the best of the bunch.

The Anaheim, Calif., native is ranked the No. 11 overall recruit in the class and the second-best receiver as well as California’s top prospect. He’s just 5-foot-11.5 and 191 pounds, but his speed and athleticism are tough to match.

Deontay Burnett is gone, leaving a receiver spot open, so why not insert a player with the same frame and arguably more explosiveness in St. Brown? This kid could be an absolute star from day one.
