UH among teams interested in USC’s Wittek

USC’s Max Wittek is looking for a new team, and Hawaii has shown interest in the quarterback.

Wittek is set to visit Texas this weekend as he considers where he’ll transfer. He said he has also heard from coaches at UH, Louisville, Virginia Tech and TCU.

"The only people I really talked to are people that really need me. People who have a hole or a little space that they’d like to fill," Wittek said Thursday. "It makes the process a little easier."

Wittek is on target to graduate with a degree in psychology in May. He will be eligible to play next season, and have two years left. He threw for 600 yards and three touchdowns in two seasons for the Trojans, but Cody Kessler, who will be going into his junior season just like Wittek, emerged as a solid starter for USC in 2013 after a sluggish start for both players.

Wittek said he is in no rush to make a decision and is not close to narrowing down his choices.
