USC defensive end David Peevy enters NCAA transfer portal

USC defensive end David Peevy has entered the NCAA transfer portal, according to a report from On3’s Pete Nakos.

Peevy is a redshirt freshman who has been with the Trojans for the past two seasons. He did not have any statistical impact during the 2024 season for USC.

David Peevy, who was a communications major at USC, was considered a high-end prospect out of high school. He was a multi-sport athlete, playing basketball and running track in addition to football.

The 2023 PrepStar All-Western Region honoree recorded 31 tackles, five sacks and an interception as a senior defensive end and outside linebacker at Lincoln High School in California.

David Peevy also helped the program to its first-ever Open Division CIF-SDS Title. He also ran the 4×100-meter dash and the 4×400-meter dash as a relay runner on the track team.

As a high school prospect, Peevy was ranked as a three-star recruit and the No. 454 overall player in the 2023 recruiting class. He also checked in as the No. 41 EDGE, as well as the No. 37 overall player from the state of California in his cycle, hailing from San Diego (CA) Lincoln.

David Peevy won’t be the only former high-profile recruit to hit the NCAA transfer portal this offseason. Former star tight end prospect Duce Robinson also plans to enter the portal.

Robinson is a former five-star recruit from the 2023 class and a two-sport athlete who also played baseball for the Trojans during the 2024 season.

The 6 foot 6, 220-pound receiver caught 23 passes for 396 yards and five touchdowns during the regular season. He most recently hauled in three receptions for 63 yards against Notre Dame in Week 14.

As a baseball player at USC, Robinson played in four games and got two starts. He had a batting average of .167 with a .333 slugging percentage.
