Terrell Anderson, a transfer from NC State, is expected to play a crucial role in USC's offense as they prepare for the new season. With the departure of top receivers Makai Lemon and Ja’Kobi Lane to the NFL Draft, Anderson will join returner Tanook Hines in leading the receiving corps. He finished the 2025 season with 39 receptions for 625 yards and five touchdowns. USC is looking for Anderson to step up and provide a strong 1-2 combination at receiver, especially after previous transfer acquisitions did not deliver expected results. The coaching staff aims to build depth in the receiving group to support quarterback Jayden Maiava effectively.
