It didn’t take long for one of USC’s weekend visitors to officially commit. On Sunday, USC football landed a commitment from former Purdue offensive lineman DJ Wingfield. Wingfield was one of several high-profile transfer targets visiting campus this weekend.
Originally a Los Angeles native, Wingfield’s journey took him to community college and New Mexico before spending the past two seasons at Purdue. After seeing significant playing time on the offensive line the past two seasons for the Boilermakers, he will return home to LA for his final season of eligibility.
The addition of Wingfield is a big one for new USC offensive line coach Zach Hanson. The Trojans are currently set to return just two starters on the O-line next season. While the addition of Wingfield will certainly help, expect the Trojans to continue to be busy in the portal at the position this offseason. They need more bodies up front.
