Monarch High School defensive back Ronnie Hoggins announced on his Twitter account Tuesday that he has committed to USF.
Hoggins is ranked as the 14th best cornerback in the state and 86th best in the nation. The 5-foot-10, 170-pound recruit received offers from TCU, Wisconsin, Louisville and Texas.
According to Rivals.com, Hoggins chose USF over his several other offers due to his strong connection with defensive line coach Eric Mathies, as well as USF’s proximity to home.
Hoggins, USF’s 15th recruit of the 2015 class, recorded 14 interceptions in his senior season at Monarch and runs a 4.59 40-yard dash, according to hudl.com.
