Here are some quotes from 247 Sports:
Mickens talked about a few of the reasons the Trojans received his commitment so early in the recruiting process.
"They've had a lot great players come out of there and they have a drive to be the best, and I want to go there and try to be the best," Mickens said.
USC had two verbal commits for the 2012 class before Mickens committed in Arik Armstead and Jordan Payton. Mickens says he knows Payton and a few of the 2011 USC commits.
"I know DeAnthony Thomas, Marcus Martin and Antwaun Woods," said Mickens. "Jordan wasn't at the game, but the other guys were and when they found out I committed, they treated me like family and embraced me."
Nice to see us grab a local kid early. Welcome Jaydon!
