Lincoln Riley Bets On 5 True Freshmen For USC

Lincoln Riley will start five true freshmen in USC's season opener, making the Trojans the first Power Four program to do so since 2021.

The Trojans landed the No. 1 recruiting class and are testing that talent with five starters including five-star edge rusher Luke Wafle. Riley is banking on the potential of tight end Mark Bowman and receivers Trent Mosley and Kayden Dixon-Wyatt to contribute immediately alongside Elbert Hill. game-sweetbonanza.com
