LOS ANGELES — Freshman tight end Blake Ayles from Orange Lutheran High had several receptions working with the first- and second-team offenses.
He also received a rude welcome from safety Will Harris, who knocked Ayles down three times.
Bear in mind, players practiced without pads.
One of the tackles was a pretty vicious-looking clothesline. After it happened a third time, Ayles said some words to Harris that I can’t reprint here.
“Blake’s a tough kid,” USC offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian said. “He gives his body up. He’ll probably be a little sore, but that’s OK.”
