2022 PRESEASON DOAK WALKER AWARD CANDIDATE: Travis Dye (Sr.), USC,...A fifth-year senior, running back Travis Dye has a degree from Oregon, where he initially enrolled after graduating high school a year early (2018). In his four-year career with the Ducks (2018-21), Dye appeared in 48 games (with 19 starts), he ran for 3,111 yards (fifth most in school history) on 521 carries (6.0 avg) with 21 TDs, caught 83 passes for 869 yards (10.5 avg) with 8 TDs, returned 15 kickoffs for 305 yards (20.3 avg), had 5 punt returns for 52 yards (10.4 avg), made 2 tackles and was 0-of-1 passing. He had 7 100-yard rushing games and 4,337 all-purpose yards in his career. Most of his male relatives played football, baseball or hockey, including brother Troy (Oregon linebacker), brother Tony (at UCLA and Cincinnati Bengals, Junior Olympics), brother Jordan (wide receiver, Sterling College) and father, Mark, (football at San Jose State, baseball in Houston Astros system). So of course Travis will play another year at USC just to keep the family in the game. - USC Football

2022 PRESEASON MAXWELL AWARD WATCH LIST: Caleb Williams, USC,...This is one of the well-known transfers, quarterback Caleb Williams moving from Oklahoma with coach Lincoln Riley to USC. Recently, college football insider Mike Farrell spread a disputed narrative on Twitter about Williams being driven away from Oklahoma and to USC because of OU fans. Williams' dad AND Williams himself never said this. Williams' dad, Carl, did mention that he himself was not thrilled with how Oklahoma fans reacted to his son entering the transfer portal, but it wasn't why he transferred at all. In fact, Caleb even addressed the fan reaction back when he made his decision to come to USC. Said Caleb: "They reacted kind of how I respected them to. I appreciate all the OU fans. I love all the OU fans. All the love and support they have given me throughout the season before I was playing, before I got there and while I was playing. They'll always be in my heart." How nice. Can't wait for football to start so there is something really happening. - ReignofTroy.com

2022 PRESEASON MAXWELL AWARD WATCH LIST: Jordan Addison, USC,...So we've heard a lot about this poster boy for NIL and transfers since he departed Pitt for USC. But a story in pittsburghnow.com only July 10 says: "Addison has reportedly been pissed in recent weeks because of unspecified broken promises not yet being followed through with, On3 national recruiting analyst Gerry Hamilton reported Friday on a Texas message board. The decision for Pitt's Biletnikoff Award-winner to transfer after two excellent seasons at Pitt was met with much discussion, especially since Addison was already being projected as a first round selection in the 2023 NFL Draft and had been building additional report with transfer quarterback Kedon Slovis over the winter, but the allure of NIL money in SoCal ultimately proved too much to pass up." Sour grapes? Who knows? That's why we have watch lists. So let's watch. - Pittsburghnow.com and online sources

The Tallahassee Quarterback Club (TQC) Foundation, Inc., the Florida-based creator and sponsor of the prestigious Biletnikoff Award, has released the 2022 Biletnikoff Award Preseason Watch List. The Biletnikoff Award annually recognizes the college football season's outstanding FBS receiver. Any player, regardless of position (wide receiver, tight end, slot back, and running back) who catches a pass is eligible for the award. As such, the Biletnikoff Award recognizes college football's outstanding receiver, not merely college football's outstanding wide receiver. Receivers are frequently added to the watch list as their season performances dictate. Actual, not potential, performance is the basis for inclusion on the Biletnikoff Award Watch List. - Biletnikoff Award

2022 WALTER CAMP PRESEASON FIRST TEAM ALL-AMERICAN: WR Jordan Addison (USC),... Addison created a commotion when he transferred from Pittsburgh to join former Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley at USC. There were claims that USC abused the NIL opportunity to get Addison, but the player actually rejected a higher offer from Texas. In the last week a social media post ignited false rumors that Addison was unhappy at USC. He denies it. The former Pittsburgh star Addison is coming off a monster sophomore season that yielded him the Biletnikoff as the nation's top receiver with 100 receptions for 1,593 yards and 17 TDs. His receiving yardage and touchdown catches ranked second among Pitt season records, trailing only Larry Fitzgerald (1,672 yards and 22 TDs in 2003). Addison's touchdown catches led the nation (tied with Western Kentucky's Jerreth Sterns) and ranked fourth nationally in total receiving yards. He broke out as a true freshman with 60 receptions with 666 yards and four TDs in the shortened 2020 season; he earned several Freshman All-American honors. The Maryland native was a four-star prospect in the 2020 class, the No. 131 overall prospect and the No. 4 athlete. - USC Football

Potential impact of wide receiver transfer Jordan Addison: Did USC need Addison? No. Did it want Addison? You bet. USC's wide receiver unit was pretty well stocked after an early transfer run that yielded it Mario Williams, Brenden Rice and Terrell Bynum to add with returning starters Gary Bryant Jr. and Tahj Washington. But the unit lacked a proven No. 1 wideout and could've used more veteran leadership. Addison, a projected first-round pick, fills those areas in droves as the nation's best wide receiver last season not named Drake London.

Addison will draw the majority of the attention from defenses, which will open up the rest of the pass catchers to make plays. He's not the biggest receiver, but the All-American has verified 4.4 speed, can beat defenses deep and might have the best hands on the team. He is also a versatile chess piece for Riley's offense, capable of playing outside, in the slot or being motioned around the formation. Addison is a plug-and-play starter who could end the season as the best wide receiver in the nation. - 247 Sports

USC and UCLA, two of the Pac-12's flagship programs, are planning to leave the conference for the Big Ten as early as 2024, sources confirmed to ESPN on Thursday. The Mercury News first reported the news. There is still a formal notification process, as the two schools have to let the Pac-12 know their intentions to leave. USC and UCLA also have to formally apply to the Big Ten. According to a source, that process is underway. Multiple sources told ESPN on Thursday that the move is expected to happen. A source called the next steps "formalities" and an announcement could come within the next 24 hours.

A source said that the exploration of the finances and what it would take to make the move have been going on for weeks. While finances played a big role in the move, competitiveness, brand and the overall landscape of the future of the sport played a bigger role. "USC and UCLA have to make the decisions to position them best for the long term," said a source familiar with the move. "The future is so uncertain we need to be operating from a position of strength." - ESPN.com

USC transfer wide receiver Jordan Addison, 2021 Biletnikoff winner, will wear the Heisman winner and legendary QB Carson Palmer's retired No. 3 jersey for the 2022 season. Addison wore No. 3 at Pittsburgh. The five-star transfer posted the No. 3 jersey on his social media on Saturday evening, and it was confirmed by USC team reporter Keely Eure. The No. 3 is one of six officially retired numbers by the Trojan program: Palmer's No. 3, Matt Leinart's No. 11, Charles White's No. 12, Mike Garrett's No. 20, O.J. Simpson's No. 32 and Marcus Allen's No. 33. Reggie Bush's No. 5 is not officially retired, but it has not been worn since Bush. USC also has special numbers reserved for standout players that are not retired: No. 55, No. 35, No. 1, No. 42 and No. 43. - USCFootball.com

06/22/22 - Shane Lee, rSr/2024, Southern California, 6-0, 243 (DS#37 ILB) + More +

Players on both side of the ball are impressed by linebacker Shane Lee. That was obvious after a spring in which Lee held down the MIKE linebacker spot and made an immediate impact on defense and offense. Lee comes from a world apart in Tuscaloosa both in terms of the football program and the location, but he acclimated to both Lincoln Riley's first team and Los Angeles very well over the course of the spring. Like USC defensive end Solomon Tuliaupupu, injuries derailed Lee's ascent at Alabama. Unlike Tuliaupupu, that injury happened after an auspicious debut.

It seems obvious Lee is going to help USC's run defense level up after watching him in the spring game and it's also clear that Lee will continue to model best practices for his less experienced teammates which may end up in the long run being his greatest contribution. In terms of football nuts and bolts, the question mark as we've discussed is his ability to hang in on pass coverage. If he can check that box than he'll only increase the lead he has right now on his starting spot and more importantly, he'll be doing plenty to help a defense that needs to get better at literally everything in 2022. - USCFootball.com

06/22/22 - Solomon Tuliaupupu, rSr/2025, Southern California, 6-2, 247 (DS#999 DE) + More +

Rush defensive end Solomon Tuliaupupu took the first steps towards stepping into his new position on the defensive line and by all accounts they were positive ones at that. Tuliaupupu was a four-star commit out of the ‘18 recruiting class who finished as the No. 86 overall player after his Santa Ana (CA) Mater Dei career came to a close. Tuliaupupu, whose college career began sidelined with a foot injury and has since been derailed pretty much every season after that by more foot and knee injuries, is back to play for defensive line coach Shaun Nua in the Year One of the Lincoln Riley Era. Nua had positive things to say about Tuliaupupu's transition and outlook during the spring. "There's no one that has true USC blood more than Solomon. He loves this place and he's been through a lot. But you see the skill set and he's exactly where he belongs now. And he's shown me some very, very good stuff," Nua told USCFootball.com. - USCFootball.com

Offensive lineman Andrew Vorhees is not just USC's most productive returning offensive lineman - he is one of the most experienced linemen in the entire nation. Returning to Los Angeles for a sixth year, he has played in 44 games through his first five seasons with the Trojans. While his age will turn some franchises off - and limit his potential as a 1-3 round prospect - Vorhees' experience is appealing if a team wants an immediate plug-and-play option with perhaps slightly less upside. His versatility is a plus, as well, as he has appeared in games at left tackle, right guard and left guard. - 247Sports.com

"I was looking for a great coach and a good football opportunity," said Addison, who is already on USC's campus. "I'm still figuring myself out and what I want to do and I feel like I have a great opportunity to do that where I'm at now." - On3.com
