The soap opera story of top prep QB Mitch Mustain is opening another chapter with the latest report that he is headed to USC.  The #1 recruit in 2006 (over other well known QBs such as Tim Tebow, Matthew Stafford, and Josh Freeman), Mustain’s departure from Arkansas is well chronicled.

Mustain’s decision to attend USC is surprising, as the Trojans have John David Booty entrenched as the starter in 2007 and #1 overall recruit by many, Mark Sanchez, set to win the starting job in 2008 - 2009. Mustain would be competing for the starting QB gig in 2010 with yet another top recruit, Aaron Corp. Maybe he is hopeful that he can either beat out Sanchez or that Sanchez will leave after one season.

What makes this debate even more interesting is that it all four QBs are legitimate PRO prospects, not just top college QBs. It is easy to envision five first round QBs in a row starting at USC (Palmer, Leinart, Booty, Sanchez, Mustain).
