The news took to social media quickly and of course rumors started to swirl about where he could potentially wind up.
The former five-star recruit appeared in two games for the Trojans in 2020 — against Arizona State and against Arizona, last playing in ‘Week 11’ against the Wildcats where he racked up two tackles.
