JuJu Smith knew when he was six-years-old.

The current USC receiver and former Long Beach Poly two-way star correctly predicted his future as a youngster following a game, according to a report on ESPN.com.

"He looked up and said, 'I'm going to go to Long Beach Poly, and from Long Beach Poly I'm going to go to USC,'" said Sammy Schuster, Smith's mother. "And here we are."

Smith, one of the nation's most sought after recruits out of powerhouse Poly, immediately made an impact as a true freshman with the Trojans in 2014. He recorded 54 catches, 724 yards and five touchdowns and also played a key role in the kickoff game.

This fall as a sophomore, Smith is expected be the top target for Heisman hopeful Cody Kessler, USC's senior quarterback.

As several preseason publications are already hailing the Trojans as a Top 15 (or higher) team for the 2015 season, Smith will have many chances to show off his skills on a national level.
