USC Football: Clay Helton reacts to Jack Sears entering transfer portal

Clay Helton’s roster on the USC football team is getting a shakeup. Fourth-string quarterback Jack Sears announced his intentions to transfer on Tuesday afternoon. Following the practice in preparation for the season opener against Fresno State, the embattled head coach got to weigh in on the news.

“I want to personally thank Jack for everything he’s done for USC, our football family, my immediate family,” Helton said. “I ask guys to do three things: Compete, give their absolute best effort and graduate from this university. Jack has done all three in a first class manner. He is part of my family for life and I wish him nothing but the best in the future.
