USC Trojans Quarterback Miller Moss To Enter Transfer Portal

Moss could draw in some big Name, Image, and Likeness money through the portal. With one year of eligibility remaining, Moss will be a hot commodity in the college football transfer portal.

Moss' NIL transfer valuation is reportedly $915,000. Moss is a natural leader with solid experience, qualities that schools are interested in. Top schools who mat need of a quarterback in the portal are the Michigan Wolverines, Auburn Tigers and Colorado Buffaloes.

"I think that's something that I'm excited about in terms of the process," Moss told ESPN about transferring. "Being able to dive into different systems with different coaches and places and see what I gravitate toward in that process."

Moss was benched after the Trojans had lost four of their five games to fall to 4-5 on the season. However, the start of the 2024 season was very promising, as Moss threw for 378 yards against LSU to help the Trojans upset the Tigers on a national stage.

In nine games this season as starting quarterback, Moss has totaled 2,555 passing yards with 18 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Moss was also sacked 10 times, facing constant pressure from opposing defenses.

The 2024 season was Moss’s first year as the Trojans starting quarterback. He sat behind quarterback Caleb Williams for his first two years at USC, making his starting debut in the 2023 Holiday Bowl. Williams sat out of the game, preparing for his future in the NFL, while Moss had an impressive start with the Trojans, throwing six touchdown passes.

USC coach Lincoln Riley spoke on Moss’s future in November, after deciding to start Maiava.

"He's just gotta be ready for the next opportunity. We never know how that's going to play out, I mean I've had these play out where something like this happens and a guy goes to another school and ends up playing in the NFL," Riley said. "I've had these happen where a guy sat down, didn't play for a little bit, went back in and played even better and took over and ran from there."

Moss was a four-star recruit out of high school and ranked as the No. 208 overall prospect and No. 22 quarterback in the 2021 class.

The college football transfer portal is scheduled to be open for 30 days during the 2024-25 academic year: Dec. 9, 2024- Dec. 28.
