Four-star linebacker Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng puts USC in top six

On Monday evening, four-star IMG Academy Bradenton (Florida) linebacker Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng narrowed his list of finalists to six, including the USC Trojans.

Owusu-Boateng also added Texas, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan and Florida to his final list. Owusu-Boateng took official visits to USC, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Michigan during the summer official visit window and he is now scheduled to take an official visit to Texas for the Georgia game on October 19 in Austin.

Keep in mind that Owusu-Boateng is the brother of Cleveland Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, who played his college career at Notre Dame, so that could have a major influence on his commitment in the near future.

Owusu-Boateng is the No. 8 linebacker in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and is the No. 73 overall prospect. He is also the No. 11 recruit out of the talent-rich state of Florida.

Notre Dame currently sits as the On3 RPM favorite at 30.8 percent, followed by Florida at 21 percent, Ohio State at 12.9 percent, and Michigan and USC at 8.7 percent.
