In recent weeks, USC has had several of its notable players make decisions regarding the 2026 NFL draft. Makai Lemon, Ja’Kobi Lane, and Kamari Ramsey all chose to declare for the draft, while Jayden Maiava, Waymond Jordan, and Elijah Paige all decided to return to the Trojans for another season.

However, several former USC players who transferred to other schools last year also had decisions to make. The two most notable of those were wide receivers Zachariah Branch and Duce Robinson.

Branch transferred to Georgia for the 2025 season. He was the leading receiver on the Bulldogs’ SEC Championship team, catching 81 passes for 811 yards and six touchdowns. He recently announced that he will be entering the draft.

Robinson, meanwhile, transferred to Florida State. After finishing top ten in the country in receiving yards with 1,081 in 2025, he will be returning to the Seminoles for 2026.

Lemon, Lane, and Branch should all get drafted in April, and Kyron Hudson, who transferred from USC to Penn State to his final season of eligibility, has a chance to as well. Robinson, meanwhile should be one of the top receivers in college football next season. The successes of all of those players goes to show just how loaded the Trojans’ wide receiver room was in 2023 and 2024.
