George Farmer said he was happy to finally get back into to the end zone.
Farmer scored 21 touchdowns as a senior at Gardena Serra High School in 2010.
He scored his first touchdown for USC last Saturday.
Farmer, a fourth-year junior, said it “felt great” to catch a touchdown pass against Boston College.
“Unfortunately, it couldn’t contribute to a win,” he said of the Trojans’ 37-31 defeat.
Former coach Lane Kiffin played Farmer at running back as a freshman and as a seldom-used receiver as a sophomore. During spring practice in 2013, Farmer suffered a major knee injury and was redshirted last season.
Farmer’s first-quarter touchdown gave the Trojans an early lead, but he said it took a few moments for him to recognize the personal significance.
“It didn’t really sink in until I got to the sideline,” he said.
Farmer has nine receptions for 72 yards.
