When you live and play in LA, you never know who you might see, and this can certainly be said for the USC Trojans.
Aside from a huge list of top-flight recruits that were on campus today, a former Trojan and NFL superstar made a guest appearance.

Drake London Pays Visit To USC Trojans
London played wide receiver for the USC Trojans from 2019-2021. While those years will be remembered as the forgettable Clay Helton years, London left a legacy and paid tribute to USC as WRU.
As a true freshman, he finished with 567 yards and 5 touchdowns. In that season, he played alongside Michael Pittman Jr. and Amon-Ra St. Brown, both of whom would get drafted to the NFL and are stars in their own right.

In 2021, he finished with 88 catches, 1084 yards, and 7 touchdowns in just 8 games. He was injured against Notre Dame and would not finish the season. Prior to the injury, he was the most dominant WR in College Football and was on pace for a historic season.
NFL scouts took notice, and the Falcons made London the first receiver taken in the 2022 NFL Draft, selecting him 8th overall.
While having legends come back to campus is fun to see, it is also a powerful recruiting tool, especially for specific positions. Wide Receiver prospects Tron Baker and Kamarie Smith were on campus today, so meeting a legacy like London, who was drafted in the first round, can certainly help in the recruiting process.
