After entering the transfer portal in October, former Alabama defensive lineman Ishmael Sopsher has found his new home. The former 4-star prospect announced his commitment to USC on Friday night via social media.
Sopsher shared a commitment graphic and the screenshot of a note on his Twitter account:
“First off, I would like to thank God because without him this wouldn’t be possible. I also would like to thank my family for always supporting me no matter what and for loving me unconditionally. I would like to thank coach Helton, coach So’oto, coach Gavin and the entire USC staff for believing in me and giving me a chance to be a part of their program, so with that being said, I’m officially a USC Trojan. #FightOn”
Coming out of Amite High School, Sopsher was rated the No. 3 Louisiana recruit, No. 5 defensive tackle and No. 47 prospect overall nationally on the 247Sports Composite. That high ranking came with 22 scholarship offers but did not translate to playing time in Tuscaloosa.
