They are all highly coveted, Southern California-based recruits. They constantly link up at 7-on-7 passing league tournaments and training camps. So it should be no surprise that they have grown so close that ESPN Junior 300 wide receiver Jaylinn Hawkins has dubbed them “The Bros.”

The clique includes ESPN Junior 300 prospects Iman Marshall, Stanley Norman and Desean Holmes, among others. Hawkins considers himself a member, though he acknowledges he’s still far from matching the recruiting notoriety the others have built heading into the spring.

“The Bros” were among the Elite Junior Day visitors USC hosted the weekend before national signing day, and Hawkins said he and the others were happy to share the experience.
