USC OC Highlights Pair of Freshmen Turning Heads in Spring Ball

USC football has the nation’s top recruiting class joining the team next season.

The Trojans started spring practices on March 3, and offensive coordinator Luke Huard highlighted two freshmen that are already standing out: wide receiver Trent Mosley and quarterback Jonas Williams.

Mosley Could Be A Starter in the Fall

After losing wide receivers Makai Lemon and Ja’Kobi Lane, USC will need to fill those starting roles next season. Mosley, who is a four-star recruit out of Santa Margarita Catholic, could earn a starting spot as a freshman.

“Oh my gosh. Trent’s a stud,” Huard said, per The Athletic. “The thing about him, too, is he’s not a one-trick pony. He can do everything. He’s physical, he’s strong, he’s fast. He’s got great ball skills.

“… The thing I’d like to give Trent credit for is not the plays he made in practice but how he prepared himself each day to go in there and execute and know what he’s doing on each play. For a freshman that just got here, that was the most impressive thing — a lack of mental mistakes. You didn’t feel like you were around a guy that just got here, because he was able to execute and line up in different spots.”

Rising sophomore Tanook Hines and State rising junior transfer are also expected to compete for starting spots at wide receiver.
