UPDATE: Farmer's signing has been confirmed by USC.

For the second straight year, Junipero Serra High in Gardena, Calif. has produced the top wide receiver in the nation. And for the second straight year, that receiver has decided to sign with USC.

At a ceremony in the gynasium at Serra High, George Farmer announced his decision to join the Trojans.

The 6-foot-2 receiver, who is listed from 192 to 210 pounds. He has a great combination of size and speed, who has the playmaking ability to step in and make a difference immediately.

Robert Woods Part II? The way they make plays may be a little different, but both guys are potential game changers.

The unanimous five-star recruit is ranked as the top receiver by both Rivals and ESPN. Rivals lists him as the No. 3 overall recruit in the nation. Farmer is No. 12 in the ESPNU 150.

Scout as the No. 3 receiver and the No. 27 player overall.
