More USC Freshmen Uniform Numbers Revealed
More true freshmen uniform numbers for USC were revealed on Friday. USC photo and media day is in the books and the resulting images have been making their way to social media. On Wednesday, true freshman receiver Duce Robinson posted a photo showing that he’ll be wearing No. 19 for the Trojans this fall.
Offensive lineman Micah Banuelos gets to keep the No. 59 he wore in high school and on his recruiting visit to USC. Banuelos was one of the first offensive linemen position coach Josh Henson targeted when he arrived at USC. He won’t be needed to play immediately, but this could be a big year for Banuelos.
Center Justin Dedich will finish his eligibility this fall and Banuelos could be the next guy up. Andrew Milek and Jonah Monheim could be in the mix as well. But Milek worked at guard this spring and Monheim could become an early-round NFL draft pick with a good 2023 season.
Tight end Kade Eldridge is doubling up on the No. 44 he wore in high school. He’ll begin his USC career in No. 88.

No. 44 belongs to wide receiver Josiah Zamora. No. 88 was worn most recently by tight ends Daniel Imatorbhebhe and Kohl Hollinquest.
Eldridge looks like a perfect H-back in Lincoln Riley’s offense. He won’t be expected to make huge contributions as a true freshman. But that tight end spot is extremely light when it comes to the depth chart. So Eldridge will certainly have the ability to make a run at playing time this fall.
Lineman Amos Talalele is sporting No. 75 to begin his career.
Talalele signed as an offensive lineman but also starred on the defensive line in high school. He also gets to keep his high school number. Although, Talalele had one of the better official visit photoshoot stories when it comes to jersey numbers. It was noticeable that he was sporting the famous USC No. 5 jersey of Reggie Bush during his visit. It’s understandable that high school players would want to wear that jersey at USC. But in Talalele’s case, there was simply a mix-up and the 7 was either omitted or misread on the number request sheet. Talalele looked pretty good in the single-digit No. 5. But he’ll likely be more comfortable in his familiar No. 75.
