USC football had three more players opt out of the 2020 season besides Jay Tufele, but the trio will at least be returning in 2021.
USC football may be celebrating the return of Alijah Vera-Tucker ahead of the 2020 season, but the Trojans will have to survive without a few more big men.
In addition to Jay Tufele, who declared for the NFL Draft, USC will be without defensive lineman Jacob Lichtenstein and offensive linemen Frank Martin and Bernard Schirmer for the coming campaign.
