  08/29/22 - Caleb Williams, Jr/2024, USC, 6-1, 214 (DS#1 QB) + More +

  2022 PRESEASON ALLSTATE AFCA GOOD WORKS TEAM NOMINEE: Caleb Williams, USC,...Williams, who enrolled at Oklahoma in the spring of 2021 after graduating a semester early from high school, emerged as the Sooners' starting quarterback by mid-season and proved to be one of the nation's premier freshmen in 2021. Overall in 2021 while appearing in 11 games (all but West Virginia and Nebraska) and starting the last 7 contests (TCU, Kansas, Texas Tech, Baylor, Iowa State, Oklahoma State, Oregon), he completed 136-of-211 passes (64.5%) for 1,912 yards and 21 TDs with 4 interceptions and he ran for 442 yards on 79 carries (5.6 avg) with 6 TDs. - USC Football

  08/25/22 - Lake McRee, rSr/2026, USC, 6-4, 248 (DS#22 TE) + More +

  A foot injury will sideline expected starter Jude Wolfe for at least half the season, leaving USC with a gaping hole at H-back, a position that's been crucial to past iterations of Riley's offense. Into that void steps Lake McRee, a redshirt freshman who came on strong at the end of last season. Riley has used many different types of H-backs over the years - and found success with pretty much every kind. McRee, assuming he holds onto the job, will presumably be more of a flex receiving threat. The only other healthy scholarship tight end in camp is senior Malcolm Epps, who's likely to play more of a traditional, inline tight end role. - Los Angeles Times

  2022 PRESEASON WUERFFEL TROPHY (COMMUNITY SERVICE) WATCHLIST: MarShawn Lloyd, South Carolina, So., RB,...Lloyd, a 5-9, 212-pound redshirt sophomore from Wilmington, Del., got his first taste of college football in 2021 after sitting out the 2020 season with a torn ACL. He appeared in all 12 regular season games last fall, rushing 64 times for 228 yards. Off the field, he was a member of the 2021 SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll and has a heart for serving others in the community. - South Carolina Football

  08/22/22 - Eric Gentry, rSr/2026, USC, 6-7, 228 (DS#16 OLB) + More +

  USC linebacker Eric Gentry has yet to speak with the media this fall camp, but his teammates and coaches can't say enough about him. The sophomore transferred from Arizona State to USC in the spring and has been transitioning seamlessly and learning quickly. "The amount of ball he's been able to digest so far has been pretty impressive," inside linebackers coach Brian Odom said. "When he can get on the same page as the other guys - he's improving every day - I'm excited about his future." Odom said the coaching staff has been giving him a lot of repetitions to help him learn quickly and see what he's physically capable of.

Even when running gassers at the end of a hot, two-hour practice, Gentry gallops to the front of the pack with energy and a competitive drive. "It's really deceptive," Odom said. "He's really quick and has tremendous balance for his length. You don't see a lot of guys like that with his proportions." Gentry's athleticism is paired with a 6-foot-6, 200-pound frame. At first glance, he seems wiry, but in action, he uses his long limbs to increase his coverage area. At ASU, he was an early enrollee and became a freshman All-American after ranking sixth on the team in tackles (45). Although he has yet to show what he can do in a game with the Trojans, he did grab an interception during the fall camp scrimmage. "With the plays, he's been catching on," linebacker Raesjon Davis said. "He's always learning. That's been a main thing because he got here later than everyone else. So him getting the playbook was a big thing." - Orange County Register

  2022 PRESEASON ROTARY LOMBARDI AWARD WATCHLIST: Tuli Tuipulotu, USC, Jr DT,...Tuipulotu proved to be one of the nation's top young defensive linemen as a sophomore starter in 2021. Overall in 2021 while starting all 12 games, he had 48 tackles, including 7.5 for losses of 42 yards (with a team-high 5.5 sacks for 39 yards), plus 2 deflections, 1 fumble recovery for a TD and 2 forced fumbles. - USC Football

Vorhees started for his fourth season as a redshirt senior in 2021. He started USC's first 8 games at left guard and the final 4 contests at left tackle. - USC Football

  08/18/22 - *Jordan Addison, Jr/2023, USC, 5-11, 173 (DS#2 WR) + More +

  Addison is now about two weeks into official practices with USC after his late-spring transfer from Pitt. After several practices and a few scrimmages, the Biletnikoff Award winner is feeling comfortable in his new offense. "I feel like I've picked it up pretty quickly, just coming in in the offseason every day with Coach (Dennis) Simmons and just learning certain routes, backside what I gotta do, the different hand signals, tempos," Addison said. "You gotta have high energy; it's a fast-paced offense, a lot of tempo. And you just gotta stay locked in every play." Addison admitted he still had more to learn, but quarterback Caleb Williams has helped alongside the coaching staff in bringing Addison along in the offense. The new QB-WR combination is also developing chemistry together in 11-on-11 after some offseason workouts. "His mindset and everything has been really good and him teaching me what I gotta do throughout certain routes," Addison said. "So I think our connection and our communication is getting better every day." - Orange County Register

  Wildcats coach Jedd Fisch said he expects defensive starters Kyon Barrs (foot) and Treydan Stukes (lower body) to be ready for the Sept. 3 opener at San Diego State. Barrs' snaps are being limited as he recovers from surgery; he did not participate in the scrimmage. Stukes has been out since Monday. "Right now I feel pretty confident that Stukes and Barrs are right on schedule to be able to play Sept. 3," Fisch said. "How long it takes between now and Sept. 3 will be a day-to-day situation." - Arizona Star News

  08/15/22 - Brenden Rice, Sr/2024, USC, 6-2, 208 (DS#15 WR) + More +

  With USC training camp entering its second week, here's a look at seven breakout candidates for the 2022 season. Brenden Rice, WR,...The son of Jerry Rice never got much of a chance to produce at Colorado, gaining 419 yards and five touchdowns in two years. Now at USC, the 6-foot-3 wideout should have a chance to be a dangerous jump-ball threat for Caleb Williams and give USC the reliable big body that the Trojans missed after Drake London's injury last season. - Orange County Register

  08/14/22 - MarShawn Lloyd, rJr/2024, USC, 5-09, 220 (DS#5 RB) + More +

  He returned last year. MarShawn Lloyd played in 12 games during South Carolina's 2021 season, his debut in college football after missing all of his true freshman year while recovering from a torn ACL. Why is this even a question? Lloyd was hurt, came back, played, end of story. Except he was wondering. Am I OK? Am I fully back? Do I want this badly enough? He couldn't definitively say no, but he wasn't risking a neck sprain while furiously nodding yes. The best Lloyd could figure it, he was lying to himself. "I feel like playing this game, you need confidence. You don't want to have to think about. On top of football with the plays, I was thinking about, "Can I do this?," Lloyd said. "That's a big no if you're playing a physical sport like this." >He was cleared medically, he passed every test.

But his situation was like that of the man he's most often compared to. Marcus Lattimore was at his physical peak when trying to recover from the devastating knee injury that ended his junior season at USC and led him to declare for the NFL, trying to salvage whatever was left of his career. He was in tip-top shape with the San Francisco 49ers, his knee was reconstructed, he was ready to play. Yet he knew what nobody else did. Lattimore just didn't feel right. The effort and desire to get back from the injury had clearly been proven. But whenever out there on the field, Lattimore simply didn't feel like he did before the injury. - The Post and Courier

  08/13/22 - Eli Sanders, rSr/2026, USC, 5-10, 200 (DS#37 RB) + More +

  Sanders came to Iowa State as a four-star recruit out of Chandler, Ariz. He had just nine carries as a true freshman, appearing in four games to preserve his redshirt. The limited experience on the field, though, didn't limit Sanders' ability to learn at the feet of one of the best running backs in school history. "It was great just watching his pregame, how he studies film, how he practices," Sanders said of Hall, who was a second-round pick in this spring's draft. "It's really exciting to see at that level what it takes. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication and motivation and love of the game." Sanders' explosive speed is what has stood out early. "He is a guy that can make big plays, explosive plays," Scheelhaase said. "Not only catching the ball out of the backfield, but hit some runs, run the ball downhill, finding creases in between the tackles, which is good to see. "He's got a lot that he's done already, and he's starting to feel that comfort on the college level." Sanders, though, needs to continue to work on making simple plays and his pass protection, Scheelhaase said. - Des Moines Register

  08/12/22 - Bobby Haskins, rSr/2023, USC, 6-6, 297 (DS#47 OT) + More +

  As he stood in front of the media on Monday, the evidence of the first four days of training camp were on the biceps of USC offensive lineman Bobby Haskins. The graduate transfer's skin was discolored purple and blue from his battles in the trenches. "We're playing hard, guys are getting after each other," Haskins said. "It's been a little chippy, which is what you want." And it's been a nice change of pace for Haskins, who missed all of spring camp after transferring to USC from Virginia. Haskins played through an ankle injury during his final season with the Cavaliers, in which he was named to All-ACC honorable mention. After Virginia's bowl game against SMU was canceled, Haskins underwent surgery.

Not long after, Haskins entered the transfer portal, balancing that decision with his recovery and final exams as he looked to complete his degree in foreign affairs. USC head coach Lincoln Riley took on the main recruiting responsibility with Haskins as the Trojans had yet to hire an offensive line coach. Haskins came away with a sense he could trust Riley, even without knowing who would be his day-to-day mentor. "When you're going somewhere for your last year, you gotta trust it," Haskins said. "We don't have time to second guess and put one toe in the water. We gotta dive in head first and that's what I did." Another key element of USC's recruitment of Haskins was strength coach Bennie Wylie, who sold Haskins on his vision for how he could transform the offensive tackle's body to give him a strong final season, and a better chance at an NFL future. - Orange County Register

  08/12/22 - Travis Dye, rSr/2023, USC, 5-10, 210 (DS#45 RB) + More +

  Travis Dye is finally a USC Trojan, after four years as an Oregon Duck and a few months of mixed emotions within the process of change. The puzzle is why it had to take four years for the former Norco High standout to find his way back home. The Trojans - the Clay Helton Trojans - certainly had their chance to recruit him. Dye was an All-CIF Division 2 performer as a runner, receiver and returner at Norco in 2017, and he was that season's Big VIII Offensive Player of the Year in a league that features perennial power Corona Centennial, a school that has sent multiple stars to USC including current Trojans Korey Foreman, Gary Bryant Jr. and Tuasivi Nomura. So, Dye was asked last week, how hard did the Trojans try to recruit him out of Norco? "Not at all," he said.

Did he want them to? "Of course," he said. "I was always a big USC fan. My older brother (Tony, a safety) went to UCLA (2008-11), and so it would have been sweet from the jump to come to USC. But I was never a highly recruited running back coming out of high school. I had two offers, Oregon and New Mexico State, and I wasn't going to go play for New Mexico State, no disrespect." Danna Dye, Travis' mother - and an athletic trainer at Corona Centennial, before taking a leave of absence this school year to more closely follow not only Travis but middle brother Troy Dye, a linebacker with the Minnesota Vikings - noted that USC recruited Troy only late in the game, and he wound up playing at Oregon from 2016-19. And her thought was that USC not recruiting Travis out of high school, while frustrating, was probably for the best. "I'm not going to say I was sad that they didn't recruit him because I was not very impressed with the previous staff," she said in a phone conversation this week. - Orange County Register

  08/11/22 - Brett Neilon, rSr/2023, USC, 6-2, 286 (DS#24 C) + More +

  As USC players took turns sitting around fold-out tables at media day last week, each one seemed to have their own off-season accomplishments to brag about. "I lost six pounds of fat, gained five pounds of muscle," center Brett Neilon reported. "I was at like 10 [percent body fat] last year," rush end Korey Foreman said. "Now I'm going into five." The man at the center of these developments and the off-season regimen for USC is strength and conditioning coach Bennie Wylie. Wylie was always a key part of head coach Lincoln Riley's vision for USC. After spending four seasons together at Oklahoma, Wylie literally joined Riley on the private plane from Norman to Los Angeles without a contract, ready to leave his mark on the Trojans' new era. - Orange County Register
