San Clemente quarterback Sam Darnold, The Register’s 2014 offensive player of the year and No. 2-ranked OCVarsity recruit, has signed with USC, the senior confirmed in a text message Wednesday morning.

Darnold said he signed at the San Clemente football office along with Boise State recruit and All-County linebacker Riley Whimpey.

“Dream come true,” Darnold said of signing. “It’s amazing.”

Darnold said his dream of playing college athletics was sparked by attending his first USC football game at age 6.
