As part of their countdown to the upcoming football season, USC reflects on former running back D.J. Morgan, who played for the Trojans from 2010 to 2014. Morgan served mostly as a backup in his early years, accumulating 388 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns over the 2011 and 2012 seasons. Injuries sidelined him for the 2013 and 2014 seasons, but he received a sixth year of eligibility and later transferred to Azusa Pacific in 2015. USC's 2026 season kicks off on August 29 against San Jose State at the Coliseum.
