One week into new USC coach Lincoln Riley's first spring, transfer quarterback Caleb Williams is a great fit but questions linger at other positions.
era at USC are in the rearview mirror. So what have we learned about USC’s new regime through one week of spring football practice?stepped into a leadership role. He might’ve taken a wrong turn into his first USC practice, but the Trojans’ new QB1 has looked completely at ease at the helm of his new offense. Teammates are already raving. His gravitational pull within the program is powerful.
The coach was clear this week that he’s expecting to add 10 or more additional transfers after the spring, while several others are likely to leave amid the fallout. It’s unclear where Riley plans to add, but quarterback and receiver are two positions he could hone in on. Oregon running back Travis Dye carries the ball during the 2021 season. He has transferred to USC, but he faces competition for carries.
Riley’s approach at running back has varied over the years. Last season at Oklahoma, he used Kennedy Brooks as a three-down workhorse. This season, the backfield is shaping up for a more balanced approach.USC added three transfers to help remake the receiver room, and so far all three have been fixtures in the two-deep to start spring.
USC desperately needs both players to develop ahead of next season. The jury is still out on whether they’ll live up to expectations.USC only has 13 scholarship offensive linemen. That’s not ideal. Ty Buchanan‘s announcement Thursday that he was entering the transfer portal only exacerbated an already concerning depth problem up front. Of those 13, only eight or so are linemen USC would trust right now to play in a game.That’s simply not enough depth to take into a season.
“You’re seeing a guy that has a little bit of confidence going into his second year, which you would expect for a guy like that.” Grinch said. “You see some speed elements, a guy that can run the show on the back end and make some communications that way. Still a young player.
