LaRue's decision to commit came after making an unofficial visit to Washington State last week, one of reportedly 20 schools that sent him offer letters. He has called all of the offers an "honor and a blessing."
"That visit [to Washington State] was me weighing my options," LaRue told ESPN. "In a sense, I always knew I wanted to be at USC, but I wanted to make sure it was right fit."
