USC wide receiver transfer Mario Williams commits to Tulane

Former USC Trojans wide receiver Mario Williams has found a new home for the 2024 season. After jumping into the NCAA transfer portal following the Trojans 2023 campaign, Williams has announced that he is headed to the state of Louisiana and will play for the Tulane Green Wave.

Williams was one of Caleb Williams’ top targets at both Oklahoma and USC. This past season, he totaled 29 receptions — which tied for the third-most on the Trojans’ roster — for 305 yards and two touchdowns. In 2022, though, he had the best year of his career with 40 receptions for 631 receiving yards and five touchdowns. That made him USC’s third-leading receiver.

As a freshman at Oklahoma in 2021, Mario Williams had 35 receptions for 380 yards and four touchdowns before entering the portal to join forces with Lincoln Riley and Caleb Williams in Los Angeles.

Williams played high school football at Plant City (FL) High School, where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 33 overall recruit in the 2021 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
