The USC Trojans continue to get hit with key defensive players heading into the transfer portal, or declaring for the draft. Safety Max Williams announced that he will not return, and plans to enter the NFL Draft. 

Losing Williams meant that USC would be down 3 of its five starters. Well, now they will be without another starter, as Calen Bullock has also announced he is headed for the NFL Draft. 

It's not a shock that Bullock is choosing to leave USC behind. He could be a high-round pick, as the young safety has had a great 2023. He ended 2023 with 42 solo tackles, 2 INTs, and 7 PD. 

Bullock might be the most talented secondary player that the Trojans had, but now they will be forced to move on without him. 

It is quite lucky that USC was able to bring in Kamari Ramsey and John Humphrey after losing both Max Williams and Calen Bullock in less than 24 hours. 

We wish Bullock all the luck in the world, and we imagine he will be on an NFL team come 2024.
