USC lists five freshmen starters in opening depth chart

The USC Trojans revealed their first depth chart ahead of Saturday's season opener against San Jose State. Freshmen tight end Mark Bowman, defensive end Luke Wafle, and wide receivers Trent Mosley and Kayden Dixon-Wyatt are among the potential starters. Freshman cornerback Elbert 'Rock' Hill IV is in a competition for a starting role. Coach Lincoln Riley expressed confidence in the young players’ abilities to perform consistently on game day despite training camp injuries affecting some veterans. Other true freshmen, including wide receiver Ethan 'Boobie' Feaster and linebacker Talanoa Ili, were also included in the two-deep chart. Riley will address the media again Thursday morning for more insights on the team's preparations.
