During the coaching carousel, the biggest splash was made when Lincoln Riley left Oklahoma for USC. The 38-year-old play-calling head coach owns a 55-10 career record with three College Football Playoff appearances and a reputation for being the best offensive mind in college football.
Not surprisingly, recruiting is going well for the Trojans.
Riley immediately flipped five-star 2023 quarterback Malachi Nelson to go along with a handful of other flips on the recruiting trail for west coast prospects. In the portal, USC has landed 11 transfers and the program is still in the running for Oklahoma transfer Caleb Williams.
