Corey Simms emerges as target for USC receiver corps

Corey Simms is contributing to the USC offense following a productive showing in the opening game. The sophomore receiver recorded four catches for 42 yards, showcasing his 6-foot-3, 205-pound frame as an option for quarterback Jayden Maiava. Simms is currently integrating into a rotation that includes smaller, faster wide receivers, providing a target capable of making contested catches. His increased involvement comes as the team manages the absence of transfer receiver Terrell Anderson. While the timeline for Anderson’s return remains unclear, coaching staff and observers indicate that Simms is poised for a larger role in the passing attack moving forward. The coaching staff continues to evaluate the depth of the receiver group as the season progresses.
