With National Signing Day finally here, Salesian standout defensive back Jermaine Kelly Jr. can add a late offer from USC to the impressive list of programs clamoring for his services. While Kelly is committed to Washington, he remains interested in Oregon, USC and Boise State and intends to evaluate his options and make a prudent decision.

"I'm blessed right now. All I can do is take it in, and listen to what they have to say, along with my family and just pray on it," said Kelly.

Kelly is looking forward to the next step in his football journey.
