USC football took a huge jump in their overall player rating with the Jason Zandamela commitment. They got up to 92.11 in overall player rating as compared to their 91.68 standing last year. The young Trojans recruit has a naturally squatty posture that allows him to dominate with a low center of gravity. His 81.5-inch wingspan also contributes to his skill set as he has a very fluid movement pattern and explosive hips.
The size of Jason Zandamela is also not an issue for his movement. He shifts his weight in multiple directions well and thrives on the upper body makes. USC football also gets a very skilled lineman in him as he does not struggle to place hands on opponents. Coach Lincoln Riley may want to try out a pin-and-pull-heavy offensive game plan for Jason Zandamela because that is where he thrives.
USC football is not looking to stop in its pursuit of a star-studded 2024 class.
