In need of help to shore up a shaky offensive line, USC has unofficially added an experienced player to buttress the positional group.
In early February, Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt confirmed that Drew Richmond was one of two offensive linemen who had decided to leave his program. Nearly three months later, Richmond announced on his personal Twitter account that he has committed to continuing his collegiate playing career at USC.
As of yet, the Trojans have not officially confirmed Richmond’s addition to the roster.

A four-star 2015 signee, Richmond, who was rumored to be leaving the Vols in January prior to Pruitt’s confirmation, started 25 games during his time on Rocky Top. A dozen of those starts came at right tackle this past season.
As a graduate transfer, Richmond would be eligible to play immediately with the Trojans in 2019.
