  Much of the buzz around the USC receiving corps this summer has focused on the newcomers in the room. It's understandable; USC added Biletnikoff winner Jordan Addison, Oklahoma transfer Mario Williams, a couple of Pac-12 transplants in Brenden Rice and Terrell Bynum, and Mater Dei standout C.J. Williams. Flying a little bit more under the radar, though, are Gary Bryant Jr. and Tahj Washington, two of USC's three top receivers a year ago. But even in a crowded competition, both are expected to contribute to the Trojans this season. "I've been excited with them," head coach Lincoln Riley said after practice Tuesday. "They both have very unique skill sets that certainly translate well to what we do offensively." Riley says he was familiar with Bryant and Washington when they came out of high school, and he watched them both a little last season.

As a sophomore, Bryant took advantage of an expanded role, catching 44 receptions for 579 yards and seven touchdowns, tying Drake London for the team lead. Washington had an immediate impact after transferring to USC from Washington, finishing second on the roster with 54 receptions and 602 yards. While they were primarily used as outside receivers in 2021, Riley wants to use the duo in different spots across the field to take advantage of their speed and shiftiness. "Just being held accountable in every position," Bryant said of the challenge. "Knowing every spot. Knowing that somebody can go down or you might be called up in certain situations." - Orange County Register
