Lincoln Riley, Josh Henson land OL Emmanuel Pregnon in transfer portal

#USC lands the coveted Wyoming transfer and fills a crucial need along its offensive front. Another huge portal score.

Sunday, USC landed Bear Alexander, the top-ranked available player in the spring window of the 2023 college football transfer portal.

Wednesday morning, the Trojans and Lincoln Riley landed former Wyoming offensive lineman Emmanuel Pregnon, the No. 2-ranked available player in the spring window of the portal.

Lincoln Riley is pretty good at this whole transfer portal thing, dontcha think?

It’s another big get for the Trojans, who needed some reinforcements on their offensive line after Courtland Ford transferred out of the program and Ethan White — an incoming transfer from Florida — had to decommit due to health problems.

In 72 hours, USC has significantly improved its quality of line play, getting bigger and tougher at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. We know the Trojans have skilled playmakers on offense. We know the Men of Troy have speed and talent at receiver and running back. It’s all about having an offensive line which can protect Caleb Williams, and having enough depth to withstand injuries when they occur.

Getting Pregnon builds back depth on the offensive line and significantly reduces anxieties about what the offensive line can achieve this season.
