While the USC Trojans didn’t reach their ultimate goal of making it to the College Football Playoff in Lincoln Riley’s fourth year with the program, there were a lot of bright spots on the roster, and reasons to be excited for the future.
One of those bright spots, running back Waymond Jordan, will reportedly be sticking around for that future.
According to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz, Jordan has agreed to a deal with the Trojans to return for the 2026 season. The JUCO transfer had a great start to the season, rushing for 576 yards and five touchdowns in his first six games of the season before being knocked out with an injury. He will now return alongside King Miller, giving USC a great 1-2 punch in the backfield for the new season.
While Trojans RB Bryan Jackson announced his intentions to transfer, USC also signed four-star running backs Deshonne Redeaux and Shahn Alston as part of their No. 1-ranked recruiting class, giving USC some more depth at the position.
