USC fans have enjoyed the increased emergence of 12 personnel on offense. It is still early, and the starters have not even had a full run an entire game yet, but many are expecting to see the tight ends play an important role for the Trojans in 2025.
This will become especially important during the Big Ten portion of the schedule when teams inevitably begin to tee off Makai Lemon and Ja'Kobi Lane. That is not to say that the Trojan wideouts will not still be able to produce monster numbers. After all, this is coach Lincoln Riley's offense.
