USC Trojans release first depth chart ahead of 2026 season opener

The USC Trojans unveiled their first depth chart for the 2026 season on August 27, two days before facing San Jose State. Four freshmen, including wide receivers Trent Mosley and Kayden Dixon-Wyatt, will start for the Trojans. Notable omissions include Terrell Anderson and defensive linemen Braylan Shelby and Jahkeem Stewart, the latter confirmed injured. Last year’s record-setting kicker Ryon Sayeri has lost his starting position to Caden Chittenden, though he will continue handling kickoffs. The backup quarterback role remains undecided between Sam Huard and Jonas Williams.
