USC DB target Hamsah Nasirildeen closing in on decision

Defensive back Hamsah Nasirildeen of Concord, N.C., won’t stay uncommitted much longer.

He’s not exactly sure when he will make his public commitment, but he said he does have a pretty good feeling about where he will go. He is down to South Carolina, Florida and Florida State in making his decision. He visited all three schools this summer.

Nasirildeen (6-3, 210) said he’s in regular contact with USC through head coach Will Muschamp and recruiter Bobby Bentley.

“I talk to them a lot, just keeping the relationship strong and just checking on me and stuff like that,” Nasirildeen said. “I think I’m pretty close (on a decision). I’m thinking this month. I think I’m pretty good on it.”

Asked what separates his favorite school from the rest, Nasirildeen replied, “The comfort with the coaching staff along with the opportunity I see for myself there.”

Nasirildeen said he would like to make it back to USC to catch a practice if possible before the season. He said Bentley’s pitch to him has focused on getting him ready for the next two levels of the game.

“With the help in development they are going to give to me, I can help the team a lot,” he said. “They can help me prepare for college football and hopefully the next level.”

Nasirildeen said he does see USC as a place where he would have the opportunity for early playing time as a freshman.
