The USC Trojans have seen many players enter the transfer portal, many of whom are on the offensive side of the ball. Starting QB Caleb Williams will presumably enter the NFL Draft. Michael Jackson III, Mario Williams, and Raleek Brown also left.
To add to the offensive player depth, offensive lineman Michael Tarquin revealed that he was entering the portal as well. Tarquin has now been revealed to be heading to Oklahoma.
Tarquin has popped up on the student database for Oklahoma as a grad student. The news has not yet been fully confirmed, but we imagine the official announcement will be coming very soon.
Head coach Lincoln Riley has returned and built a brand-new defensive staff. He will just need to hit on many of the signing day players, along with transfer portal players to make his retention last an additional year.
Seeing the exodus of offensive players is sure to hurt the depth of the team, so it will be interesting to see how Riley responds.
