USC Running Backs: Building Depth and Talent for a Successful 2026 Season
USC has been actively recruiting top talent like Deshonne Redeaux from Oaks Christian and Shahn Alston from Harvey to strengthen their backfield. The Trojans faced depth challenges last season but are looking to build a strong running game with returning players like King Miller and Waymond Jordan. Despite some players entering the transfer portal, USC is excited about the potential of Redeaux, a dynamic runner with explosive speed and great hands. Alston, a powerful back with agility, has also impressed the coaching staff with his work ethic and maturity. Both freshmen are eager to learn and improve, adding depth to the team's running back rotation. With key players returning and a more balanced offensive approach under coach Lincoln Riley, USC is poised for a successful season in 2026.
