USC football tries to flip one of the nation's top safety prospects

WeAreSC.com recruiting insider Scott Schrader is following the possibility that the USC football program will flip UCF safety commit Kendarius ‘Dee’ Reddick.

Reddick was committed to UCF since February, when he flipped his commitment from Auburn, who he’d previously been committed to since October 2023.

Listed at 5-foot-11 and 170 pounds, the industry-generated 247Sports Composite has Reddick as the No. 108 player, No. 7 safety and No. 12 player from the state of Georgia in 2025.

In his first three seasons of football, Reddick had 157 tackles, five interceptions, five tackles for a loss and two sacks at Thomas County Central High School in Georgia.

USC secondary coach Doug Belk has been getting work done lately. He gained the commitment of Shamar Arnoux from Julian Lewis’s high school in Carrollton, Georgia. He is trying to nail down other future recruits as well. This would add to Belk’s bulk in beefing up the USC secondary, giving more momentum to the overhaul being attempted by the Trojans under Lincoln Riley.
