USC’s Passing Game Gets Fresh Blood | USC Trojans Football News

USC’s passing game is in rebuilding mode, but fresh talent is flooding in to fill the void. Four-star recruits Trent Mosley and Kayden Dixon-Wyatt, plus early graduates Luc Weaver and Tron Baker, are ready to compete for starting roles after a shaky 2023 season marred by injuries. The tight end corps gets a major upgrade with five-star freshman Mark Bowman, whose skill set rivals USC’s golden era under Lincoln Riley. Meanwhile, the transfer portal delivered proven weapons: Terrell Anderson, a versatile junior receiver from NC State, and junior tight end Josiah Jefferson, a high-impact JC standout. With few experienced options on the roster, this new crop has a golden opportunity to make an immediate impact and turn USC’s aerial attack around.

Three Under-the-Radar USC DBs to Watch | USC Trojans Football News

USC’s defense is exploding with talent, adding nine new defensive backs in the 2026 and 2027 classes—with six already signed. Standouts like four-star cornerback Elbert Hill and top recruit Danny Lang are already making noise, but three under-the-radar gems could steal the spotlight this fall. Freshman safety Madden Riordan, a 3-star with 36 pass breakups and 14 interceptions, brings elite awareness and physicality. Jayden Crowder, a junior college standout from the Trinity League, shows versatility with 8 breakups, 2 picks, and even two blocked kicks. And Brandon Lockhart, a 6’2” Sierra Canyon product, combines size, speed, and run-stopping ability to be a disruptive force. All three are poised to make an immediate impact—and could surprise everyone. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
