Add the University of Southern California to the list of colleges who have made official scholarship offers to Tampa Catholic juniors Christian Green and Chaz Green.

Trojans coach Pete Carroll came to the central Tampa school earlier this week to make the offers to Christian, the Crusaders star quarterback who passed and rushed for a combined 1,921 yards and 20 TDs last season, and Chaz, a 6-foot-6, 275-pound lineman who helped make those stats possible for Christian. As close as they are, the two Greens are not related.

Both Greens have already received offers and/or interest from other major programs, including Florida and Florida State

“It’s a pretty big deal to have nationally-recognized players like that at Tampa Catholic,” said Crusaders coach Bob Henriquez. “The recruiting for them is going to be crazy around here next season.”
