USC Trojan third-string Quarterback Jack Sears is playing against Arizona State, and like Sam Darnold, winning is his talent.

Who is Jack Sears?  Why is this a good thing for the Trojans?

Throughout this season the Trojans’ have been struggling with injuries, its offensive line and the inconsistencies with J.T. Daniels as the first-string Quarterback.  Last week, Daniels suffered a concussion at the end third quarter placing Matt Fink, the second-string Quarterback who was sustaining three broken ribs, to completing six out of seven passes and two touchdowns in the fourth quarter against Utah.  Unfortunately, the 41-28 loss against Utah, the Trojans are now trailing 4-3, 3-2 in the Pac-12 (McCollough, 2018; McCollough, 2018 & Sallee, 2018).

Although, there are other opportunities and chances for the Trojans to win more games. Many USC Trojan fans do not know Jack Sears. Sears, the young 20-year-old redshirt Freshmen third-string Quarterback from San Clemente will be playing against Arizona State for the first time as a Trojan.  In 2015, Sears played at San Clemente High School with his mentor Sam Darnold, (former USC Quarterback now playing for the New York Jets) as his wide-receiver, followed his footsteps as a Quarterback, and as a team won the CIF Southern Section Championship & state title for the Tritons in 2016 (McCollough, 2018; McCollough, 2018 & Sallee, 2018).   

In closing, Jamie Ortiz, Darnold & Sears former San Clemente coach, firmly believes both men are winners because they learned how to be Quarterbacks together. Though, like Darnold, Sears knows how to execute plays and is explosive at making plays with his feet. “You want a guy that’s going to be a winner and lead your team. Both of those guys have been groomed here at San Clemente, and now at USC. They know what it takes to win” (McCollough, 2018; McCollough, 2018 & Sallee, 2018).

And winning more games is what USC needs to win another championship.

Fight On!
