Report: Jordan Addison intends to transfer out of Pitt

According to Andrew Fillipponi, wide receiver Jordan Addison “plans” on leaving the Pitt football program and eventually enter the NCAA transfer portal. Winning the Biletnikoff Award last season with the Panthers, the best wide receiver in all of college football will be on the open market.

“News out of Oakland tonight: Jordan Addison plans on leaving the Pitt football program,” Fillipponi said. Intends to transfer. Wow.”

Addison worked with now first-round quarterback pick Kenny Pickett last season, being one of the top duos in the country. He finished the year with 100 receptions for 1,593 yards and 17 touchdowns. Pitt made it all the way to a New Year’s Six Bowl after winning the ACC Championship.

USC ‘possible destination’ for Jordan Addison

According to Bruce Feldman of The Athletic, USC is a “possible destination” for Addison, if he were to enter the transfer portal. He would join up with head coach Lincoln Riley and quarterback Caleb Williams, forming one of the top offenses in the country.

“SOURCE: Quite a situation brewing involving Biletnikoff Award winner Jordan Addison looking into transferring from Pitt with USC as a possible destination,” Feldman said.

ESPN’s Pete Thamel says there is already a connection between Addison and Williams, with both of them growing up in the same area. If USC ends up being the pick, the preexisting ties could be a determining factor.

“Jordan Addison is from Fredrick, Maryland,” Thamel said. “Caleb Williams is also from the DC area. There’s ties from that DMV relationship that could help Addision end up at USC.”

USC has already been active in the transfer portal at wide receiver, bringing three into the program. Mario Williams, who followed Riley and Williams to Los Angeles from Oklahoma, is the biggest of the three. He and Addison would instantly become the top one-two duo in college football and give the Trojans a top offense.

Even before a potential move happens, Addison has been hyped up as a preseason All-American pick next season. That’s without Kenny Pickett as his quarterback and his position coach, Brennen Marion, leaving the program. Insert him in a Riley offense, and the numbers produced could get scary.
