Elite receiver Dorian Singer had no major scholarship offers late in his senior year, but determination helped him eventually find his way to USC.
USC defensive coordinator Alex Grinch said the Trojans are examining every failure last season and steadily rebuilding with a stronger foundation.Before he’d emerge as one of the most coveted receivers on the transfer market, trading Arizona for USC this past offseason, Singer moved from Minnesota to Arizona in 2020 with the hope it might drum up an offer or two.
But Singer was certain that he belonged. So certain that he kept waiting, even as no space ever came open at LSU. Even as Texas coach Tom Herman was fired, replaced byZupke, searching for some explanation, wondered if he might be to blame. Had he not done enough to help Singer? The receiver remained surprisingly calm about his circumstances.
Singer’s options were limited as he considered his next steps in May 2021. Northern Arizona, an Football Championship Subdivision school, was pursuing him relentlessly. Arizona also expressed interest, but had no available scholarships to offer. If he wanted to play Power Five football, he’d have to start as a preferred walk-on, hoping Arizona would follow through the next season.
“But Dorian just wasn’t having it,” Zupke said. “He was confident enough in himself that he was like, ‘I don’t need to settle for an FCS school.’ He wanted to prove himself on a higher stage.”
