USC veteran tight end Jude Wolfe hits the transfer portal

Jude Wolfe seeks a fresh start.

USC tight end Jude Wolfe announced on Friday he is entering the transfer portal and leaving the program after five seasons.

“I would like to start by thanking all of my head coaches, position coaches, and teammates I’ve worked with over the last five years,” he wrote in a post shared on social media. “Thank you to all of the medical, training, and strength staff for providing me with excellent care and getting my health back to 100%.

“I am forever grateful to The University of Southern California for giving me the opportunity to earn both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s Degree.

“Above all else, I want to thank God for blessing me with a loving family, supportive friends, and for all of my abilities, especially overcoming adversity. After thoughtful prayer and discussion with my family, I have decided to enter my name into the transfer portal.”

This season, Wolfe made 11 appearances, brought in two receptions for five yards, and scored his first career touchdown in the win over Colorado on Sept. 30.

In his five-year run, Wolfe was injured a lot. In his career he had 33 appearances, 12 receptions for 66 yards and one touchdown.

Wolfe played high school football at Bellflower (California) St. John Bosco, where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 209 overall recruit and the fifth-best tight end in the country.

He’ll leave USC with one season of eligibility remaining.

Look for Cal, Arizona State, Boston College, Minnesota, Nebraska, Illinois, Purdue, Rice, Louisville and Pittsburgh to show interest in the 6-foot-4, 249-pound tight end.
