Another Ridge View athlete an emerging prospect for USC

South Carolina coach Will Muschamp on Wednesday pulled linebacker Damani Staley out of Ridge View High.

In the future, he might return to Perry Parks' program for multi-position athlete Latheron Rogers-Anderson, who recently transferred from Lakewood.

Rogers-Anderson can play running back and defensive back. He attended USC's junior day last month and feels an offer from the Gamecocks could come his way this spring.

"It was a real welcoming experience," Rogers-Anderson said. "All the coaches knew who I was and I wasn't expecting that. I wasn't expecting that much attention. It made me feel good about all the hard work I've put in."

The Gamecocks have kept in touch with Rogers-Anderson and he's been talking with Mike Peterson and Travaris Robinson.

"They said I can visit anytime and I'm welcomed there," he said. "They told me I can run the ball and I can hit and what they are waiting to see is if I can cover someone in man coverage, so I've got to go to their camp and show out. An offer from anywhere is a great opportunity and I would appreciate it, but if I did get offered there it would mean a lot."

Rogers-Anderson does have an offer from Old Dominion. He said he might return to USC for the junior day March 19. The Gamecocks have not specified a position for him saying he could start out at the position of his choice.
