Since releasing the first depth chart of the season on Sunday, USC has now lost two players. First, safety Ykili Ross, and now, reserve redshirt-freshman cornerback Je’Quari Godfrey.
Head coach Clay Helton announced the departure as part of his press conference Tuesday, following the Trojans’ first game week practice of the year in preparation for Saturday’s matchup with UNLV.
“[Ross and Godfrey] are great men and two great kids,” Helton said. “We thanked them for their service and we wish them all the best.”
After redshirting last year to recover from a knee injury suffered in high school, Godfrey was listed as a third-team cornerback on this week’s depth chart, behind soon-to-be four-year starter Iman Marshall and highly rated true freshman Olaijah Griffin.
