Tahj Washington and Christian Roland-Wallace will enter the 2024 NFL draft

Two USC players accepted an invitation to the East-West Shrine Bowl.

The USC Trojans are losing two players to the NFL draft. Christian Roland-Wallace was part of a disappointing secondary in 2023. He will try to boost his NFL draft stock in the coming weeks and months. The bigger loss is Tahj Washington, the reliable and overperforming wide receiver who was one of the more consistent members of the wide receiver room over the past two seasons.

While Mario Williams and Dorian Singer struggled, Washington was able to get open more regularly and give the Trojans relatively consistent production at wide receiver. While one could legitimately call Williams and Singer busts in 2023, Washington remained a positive force on the roster and earned the respect and trust not only of Caleb Williams and Lincoln Riley, but the larger USC fan base. Everyone who follows USC football will view Tahj Washington’s USC career as a good one. Everyone will look back fondly on his years in Los Angeles and his contributions to the program.

Both Washington and Roland-Wallace have accepted invitations to the January East-West Shrine Bowl, one of the college all-star showcases which will be widely attended and studied by NFL scouts and executives. We wish the best to these two Trojans as they pursue their NFL dreams.
