USC running back Markese Stepp enters transfer portal
USC running back Markese Stepp celebrates after scoring on a two-yard touchdown run in the second half against Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., on Oct. 12, 2019.When he first burst onto the scene last season, Markese Stepp seemed destined to be USC’s next bellcow back. Instead, after a year in which he battled multiple injuries and the Trojans run game diminished, the redshirt sophomore is now in search of a new backfield.
Stepp officially entered the NCAA transfer portal on Monday, less than two weeks after he led USC in rushing attempts (13) in a Pac-12 title loss to Oregon.
