If USC football brings an offensive tackle to the roster in the coming spring transfer portal window, do not be surprised. Lincoln Riley told members of the media on Tuesday, at USC’s first spring practice media availability, that a portal addition at offensive tackle is a possibility.
If we are being both realistic and aspirational about USC’s spring transfer portal plans, the Trojans really do need another offensive or defensive tackle. They need both, but we said “realistic” as well as “aspirational.” The realistic view is that USC will get one of the two. That would really help. It might be too difficult to land both an elite offensive tackle and a top-shelf defensive tackle. That would, however, be the dream scenario for the Trojans and Lincoln Riley.
USC needs more depth and toughness up front as it prepares for the Big Ten. Does USC have everything it needs on both its offensive and defensive lines? Probably not. The Trojans might still be a few bodies short. That’s where the portal can fill in gaps. Can USC get the daily double and land tackles on both sides of the ball? If USC can at least get one game-changing lineman — offense or defense — it would significantly improve this team’s outlook for 2024 in the Big Ten.
Lincoln Riley says the depth at offensive tackle is a “concern” but they like the quality there.
Says there is a possibility they bring someone in. #USC
