Former UCF cornerback Chasen Johnson has committed to USC out of the NCAA transfer portal, he announced on Thursday.

Johnson logged 14 tackles during his true freshman season with the Knights. He entered the portal after head coach Gus Malzahn left to take Florida State‘s offensive coordinator job. The Trojans beat out the likes of Auburn and SMU for his services.

He logged statistics in seven games for the Knights in 2024 and was particularly active during the latter half of the regular season. He’ll now look to make a splash in the Trojans secondary in 2025.

Johnson was a three-star recruit in the 2023 recruiting class, according to the On3 Industry Rankings, which is a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services. He was the No. 1,103 overall player in his class, the No. 118 cornerback, and the No. 147 player in the state of Florida.

The portal officially opened on Monday, Dec. 9, 2024. More than 2,800 FBS scholarship players entered their names into the NCAA’s transfer database during the 2023-24 school year. Removing those who withdrew or went pro, the final total sat at 2,707 transfers.

That means roughly 25 percent of all FBS scholarship players hit free agency in one year, per On3’s Pete Nakos.
