USC Hires Savage; Offers Scholarship to Smith

USC Football is set to hire Chad Savage as its new tight ends and inside receivers coach, replacing Zach Hanson who has been promoted to offensive line coach. Savage, previously at Colorado State, is renowned for his recruiting skills, having been rated the top recruiter in the Mountain West Conference for three consecutive years. His hiring is part of USC's strategy to strengthen its recruiting foothold in Southern California, a region where Savage has deep connections. Meanwhile, USC has shown interest in the 2027 class by offering a scholarship to Myels Smith, a promising defensive lineman from Inglewood, California. Additionally, Stanford Football has appointed a new Assistant GM, who expressed excitement about working with Andrew Luck and Coach Taylor. These developments highlight the dynamic shifts in coaching and recruitment strategies within college football teams in California.
