Pepe to the Portal
On Wednesday night, defensive lineman Kobe Pepe became the latest USC player to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal.
Pepe originally signed with USC as a three-star recruit in the class of 2020. However, he appeared in just three games over his three seasons as a Trojan. Injuries unfortunately slowed him for the majority of his USC career, as he did not record any meaningful stats over his final two years with the team.

Basketballβs 2-0 Week
Due to USCβs final exams, it is a bit of a light stretch for the Trojan Basketball team, as USC does not have any games this weekend. However, the Trojans took care of business in both of their contests this week, surviving Oregon State on Sunday at Galen Center before defeating Cal State Fullerton on Wednesday night.
Up next for USC is a matchup with Long Beach State this coming Wednesday at home.
