In a thrilling development for college football fans, the USC Trojans are predicted to secure the commitment of Penn State transfer linebacker Ta’Mere Robinson, according to On3’s Transfer Portal experts.

The announcement, made by On3’s Pete Nakos and Steve Wiltfong, has sent waves through the recruiting landscape, with a 60% confidence level per the Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM).

This potential move signals USC’s continued efforts to bolster its defense under head coach Lincoln Riley.

Ta’Mere Robinson, a former four-star prospect from the 2023 recruiting cycle, hails from Pittsburgh and has already shown promise during his time with the Penn State Nittany Lions.

Known for his athleticism and versatility, Robinson’s potential transfer to USC could be a game-changer for the Trojans, who are looking to strengthen their linebacker corps.

The Trojans have been active in the transfer portal this spring, with Robinson’s visit to Southern California over the weekend further fueling speculation of his commitment.

USC, a historic powerhouse in college football, has been making strategic moves to reclaim its dominance in the NCAA.

Under Riley’s leadership, the program has prioritized defensive talent, as evidenced by their recent linebacker signings in the 2025 cycle, including four-star Matai Tagoa’i and three-star AJ Tuitele.

Adding Robinson to the roster could provide an immediate impact and depth to a unit poised for growth.

As the transfer portal continues to reshape college football, all eyes will be on Robinson’s decision.

Will the Trojans secure this highly-touted linebacker and take another step toward a championship-caliber defense? Fans eagerly await confirmation of this blockbuster prediction.
