I have never heard of this kid, and just wondered if anyone has any clue? ....what are our chances, we can pull a sam keller with this kid?

 
I think that he is going to head back to the east coast to be closer to his family. My guess is that he goes to Penn State since he almost went there out of high school and they lose their top 3 receivers this year.

Nebraska tried to recruit him originally. One of the 54 out of 56 that Nebraska went after but went to USC. (Lucky and Purify were the two Nebraska wins).

One of the top WR recruits in the nation at the time, from the east coast. I personally don't think he'll come to Nebraska.

 
He was the #7 player overall according to Rivals in 2006. If I am not mistaken he may have spent a year at Hargrave or something because he didn't qualify and then signed with USC.

 
This was posted today from the LA Daily News.

Former USC wide receiver Vidal Hazelton's top transfer choices are Missouri and Rutgers, according his father.
"We're hoping to make a decision next week," Dexter Hazelton said Wednesday.

Notre Dame and Syracuse recently expressed interest in Hazelton, who obtained his transfer release after the Trojans played the Irish.

Missouri might be the favorite because former USC linebacker Josh Tatum, who left after his freshman season, will play for the Tigers next season after two years at City College of San Francisco.

Rutgers would make sense if Hazelton chooses to attend school near his family, which lives in New York.

Hazelton caught 50 passes in 2007 but played sparingly this year because of injuries. He wanted to redshirt, but USC's coaches refused his request.
