Top-QB Malachi Nelson Shakes Up Transfer Portal, Leaving USC | Chris Vernon Show

In a surprising turn of events, the highly touted quarterback Malachi Nelson, originally committed to Oklahoma, has entered the transfer portal, leaving USC after spending a year behind Caleb Williams. Nelson, the former number one quarterback recruit in the country and Gatorade Player of the Year in California, showcased his potential by enrolling early at USC, though he saw limited action in just one game. The decision to enter the transfer portal raises questions about the dynamics at play behind the scenes. This unexpected move leaves USC and head coach Lincoln Riley with a significant void to fill, as Nelson’s departure marks a substantial loss for the program.
