Just a few days after building for the near future, USC coach Lane Kiffin began building for it in the more distant future.

The first-year Trojan coach, who had signed one of the nation’s top incoming recruiting classes Wednesday, the first day national letters of intent could be signed, has an idea who will be on his quarterback depth chart five years from now.

That is if 13-year-old David Sills, a seventh-grader from Bear, Del. sticks with the commitment he made Thursday to accept a football scholarship to USC. That, incidentally, is 2015 when he would first be a Trojan, assuming he does sign a letter of intent.

According to the Wilmington News Journal, Sills, who attends Red Lion Christian Academy, told delawareonline.com “my heart was beating so fast” when he talked to Kiffin.

Red Lion high school varsity coach Eric Day confirmed Kiffin recently offered the teen a scholarship, and Sills committed, according to the Wilmington paper.

Sills has been trained by Steve Clarkson, the well-known quarterback coach who has tutored a number of high-profile passers over the years.
