Redshirt freshman DJ Jordan also plans to enter the portal. Talented player, but got buried in the depth chart and the Trojans have a loaded WR class coming in.

WR DJ Jordan also plans to enter the transfer portal.

Not a huge surprise, especially with the big class coming in.

USC True Freshman EDGE Gus Cordova plans to enter transfer portal.

First surprise to me. Was very high on him when he committed. Hurt him a bit that he didn’t enroll till the fall, and players like Jadyn Ramos developed much quicker, with a big class coming in. Best of luck✌️
