From LasVegasSun.com:

The nation’s top high school tight end has committed to play football at Southern California.

Bishop Gorman senior-to-be Xavier Grimble, who is rated by recruiting Web site Rivals.com as the nation’s top tight end, said Thursday he picked Southern California over Florida and Oklahoma.

“I liked everything about USC, especially that it was so close to home,” Grimble said.

Xavier is currently rated the top TE in the nation.  This is a great pick-up for SC because it not only completes the TE class for 2010 with Randal Telfer already on board, but brings balance to the position for the incoming class.  Whereas Randal Telfer is more an athletic receiving TE that will stretch defenses, Xavier brings prototypical size and athleticism to be either a dominating blocker or possession tight-end.

With the commitment, Christian Thomas, the 2nd rated TE in the nation, is likely the odd man out.  This should be positive news for UCLA as they will now likely be the favorite to pick up Thomas.  It's still a long time till signing day, so I wouldn't rule Thomas completely out just yet.  Lot of things can happen.
