TMZ is reporting that Corral and Tristan Gretzky had a less-than-friendly relationship and tensions escalated during a basketball game. After the incident, Corral transferred.
While TMZ didn't divulge details of what caused friction between the two, the website said Corral's mom confirmed the bad blood. TMZ also reported that Gretzky is one of the school's biggest boosters.
Corral, according to 247 Sports, is the No. 2 quarterback prospect in the country and ranked No. 9 overall. The 6-foot-2, 185 pound signal caller has committed to USC in the class of 2018.
