USC recruiting update: Trojans are on the mind of Canton Kaumatule

Despite signing a financial-aid agreement with Oregon, defensive lineman Canton Kaumatule is considering making an official recruiting visit to USC, he told the Oregonian.

“I’m still not sure,” Kaumatule said of a Nov. 29 trip to USC. “My mom wants me to go to at least one more visit before I’m sure. I still feel like I’ve made up my mind.”

Kaumatule, from Honolulu Punahou High in Hawaii, made Oregon his first official visit. NCAA rules allow recruits to take five.

The financial-aid agreement Kaumatule signed with Oregon is nonbinding and allows for unlimited contact with the Oregon coaching staff.

Three Oregon assistants visited Kaumatule in Hawaii during the Ducks’ bye week, the Oregonian reported.

USC assistant Johnny Nansen visited Punahou High during the evaluation period.

Kaumatule is on track to enroll at Oregon in January.
