Alijah Vera-Tucker is coming back. The Trojans’ best offensive lineman opted back in Tuesday, allowing him to play his redshirt-junior season in 2020.
It’s Christmas in October for the USC football program. Less than a month after announcing his departure from the program to prepare for the 2021 NFL Draft, Alijah Vera-Tucker is back.
The fourth-year offensive lineman is once again a vaunted piece of the Trojans’ roster for what will be a title-challenging campaign.
“The opportunity to rejoin my teammates, represent the Trojan family, continue to advance towards my degree and compete for a Pac-12 Championship this season is something I cannot pass up,” Vera-Tucker said in a USC produced video posted to Twitter.
