LB Antwon Higgs (6-2 240) of Pompano Beach, FL says that USC tops his list. Last season, Higgs had 120 tackles and 6 sacks. He says the Gamecocks were the first to offer him. "I like the fact that they play big linebackers. Other schools are talking about me moving to the defensive end but I want to play at the linebacker position." Coach Robert Gillespie is his recruiter and Higgs says that Gillespie has confirmed they want him at LB. "They were the first to offer me and have stayed with me. They're my favorite right now but I am keeping my options open. " Higgs runs a 4.8 40, but says he expects that to improve. "My game speed is much quicker. Most definately I am faster sideline to sideline." He says he sports a 3.6 G.P.A. and plans to graduate in December. Higgs hopes to visit USC for the LSU game. His offers include Florida, Miami, Florida State, NC State, West Virginia, and Purdue.
