USC set to host transfer portal defensive back target
USC will host defensive back Greedy Vance for a visit this weekend as the Trojans look to add a few final touches to their 2024 football roster.
The 5-foot-11, 170-pound Vance began his college career at Louisville before transferring to Florida State ahead of the 2022 season. With the Seminoles, Vance tallied 34 tackles, five pass deflections and four interceptions in two years. He’ll have one year of eligibility remaining.
Vance was locked in a tough battle at nickel once Florida State made a big splash in the transfer portal earlier this offseason by landing former Alabama standout Earl Little Jr.
USC and the Kentucky are the two schools to jump out early and schedule visits for Vance. According to On3’s Hayes Fawcett, Vance has also received transfer offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Miami, Missouri, Virginia Tech and others.

The Trojans have already added four veteran transfers to their secondary this offseason. Cornerback John Humphrey and safety Kamari Ramsey came over from UCLA along with coordinator D’Anton Lynn. Cornerback DeCarlos Nicholson transferred from Mississippi State and safety Akili Arnold came in from Oregon State.
But when Tre’Quon Fegans entered the transfer portal, nickel became a spot where USC could use an additional body or someone to push for starter’s snaps. Veteran returner Jaylin Smith missed most of spring due to injury and USC doesn’t have another defensive back who has seen extensive time at nickel.
USC has a bit of a connection here in that defensive line coach Eric Henderson and Vance both attended Edna Karr High School in Louisiana.
