Carde Smith, a 6-foot-6, 300-pound four-star offensive tackle from Mobile, Alabama, has decommitted from in-state school Auburn. Smith was scheduled for an official visit to Mississippi State in Starkville, but he cancelled to attend the final summer recruiting weekend at USC. Smith had glowing comments about USC after his official visit last weekend.
The offensive line coach at USC, Josh Henson, has been under pressure from fans to land more quality prospects. This would certainly qualify if Henson can close the deal.
Whereas USC defensive line coach Eric Henderson was at least able to earn commitments from prime defensive prospects Justus Terry and Isaiah Gibson before they later decommitted and were swayed by SEC schools, we haven’t seen Henson gain as many commitments from the best of the best offensive line prospects in the country. Getting Smith, if Henson can finish the job, would be a highly important and encouraging moment for USC football, given the acute need for Henson to improve both on and off the field in 2024. This would be a significant forward step for the Trojans.
