Name: Dillon Baxter
Position: Running Back
Class: Freshman
Age: 18
High School: Mission Bay (San Diego)
Comparison: Inevitably...Reggie Bush. He's an all-purpose explosive back from San Diego.
Prep Career: He completed 102-of-166 passes (61.4%) for 1,968 yards with 26 TDs and just 7 interceptions and ran for a San Diego record 2,984 yards on 261 carries (11.4 avg.) with 50 TDs (he also caught a TD pass) while accounting for a state record 79 touchdowns on offense, had 2 interceptions and scored twice on defense and returned 9 punts for 117 yards (13.0 avg.) and 11 kickoffs for 179 yards (16.3 avg.) in 2009. Mission Bay went 13-0 and won the CIF San Diego Division IV title in 2009.
Fall Camp: Baxter arrived at USC in the spring and became an immediate YouTube sensation with his gamebreaking skills. However, this fall has been a bumpy adjustment to stardom. Baxter will be suspended for the Hawaii game for violating team rules, but he's improved his attitude since the setback.
In his own words: "Just be responsible, do what you need to do and stop acting like a knucklehead," Baxter said were the lessons he learned from this incident.

I liked the interview. Dillon's a good guy and he took responsibility for his actions, and that, my friends, speak of greatness from this 18 year old. I'm very happy for him and will surely watch for him to shine at the home opener, with Virgina........
