- Nice profile on 2009 QB Recruit, Matt Barkley, out of Mater Dei HS:
...“USC has an awesome program,” said Barkley. “Matt Leinart, obviously came out of there and it was great to see what he did. My dad played water polo and swam at USC, so I did grow up rooting for USC. I wouldn’t say that has too much of an impact of where I’m going. But I definitely grew up being a Trojan fan, going to their youth camps and practices.”
...“We have a Heisman Lane, with Matt Leinart and John Huarte so it’s definitely given me something to look to,” said Barkley. “But even my freshman year, I didn’t feel any pressure. My teammates, they did a great job of welcoming me into the program. Mater Dei just has a great quarterback tradition.”
... A well-rounded student athlete, Barkley volunteers at a local youth center doing tutoring and he’s carrying a 4.1 GPA.
Matt is rumored to be a heavy SC lean...
