Bowden hopes to turn around the recruiting fortunes of the Trojans, who haven't lived up to expectations the past few cycles.

Bowden praises Trojans A.D. Jen Cohen and head coach Lincoln Riley, promises to recruit Southern California high schools and to “give every ounce of me for USC to win.”

Bowden made it clear once again that recruiting local prospects will be a priority for the USC personnel staff.

The USC Trojans knocked it out of the park when they were able to lure Chad Bowden from rival Notre Dame and make him their new GM. Just over a month on the job, and he is already making waves, and the program has the most momentum that it has had in recent years.
