Trent Mosley shines in USC debut with seven catches against San Jose State

USC freshman receiver Trent Mosley made an impressive debut, catching seven passes for 118 yards and a touchdown in the Trojans' 42-26 victory against San Jose State on August 29, 2026. Mosley, drawing comparisons to former standout Makai Lemon, demonstrated his big-play capability throughout the game, including a highlight 41-yard punt return. His performance was critical as top receiver Tanook Hines missed the game due to injury. As part of a youth movement in the receiving corps, Mosley is expected to play a significant role moving forward under head coach Lincoln Riley.
