As bullish as the coaching staff was on Curtis before spring camp, he’s only reinforced that notion over the last 14 practices with his physicality, toughness and eye for the ball.
LOS ANGELES — When Shane Lee came to USC last winter, he was immediately heralded by his new teammates for his leadership. He was an important piece of Lincoln Riley’s efforts to change the culture at USC, and he was rewarded by being elected team captain in his first year in L.A.
“He’s definitely a leader, man,” Lee said. “He’ll be an emerging guy that people look to for encouragement, for leadership, for everything. He’s going to be one of those guys for sure.” A four-star prospect, Curtis had 112 tackles and 16 for losses as a senior at Many High, which he led to a state championship while winning MVP honors. At USC, he joined a position group that needed depth, but also talented young players who would stay with the program for several years after a run of restocking the position through the transfer portal.
“The thing that you learn about Tackett that’s pretty unique is, you had a pretty good idea of what his best was; but how consistently he’s close to his best, that’s the one thing that separates him from a lot of other people,” Odom said. “He doesn’t have a lot of bad days. And his bad days aren’t very far off from all of his good days.”
