Top 5 Trojans: Rookies

Projecting USC's best true freshmen in 2019...

USC Athletics/John McGillen

QB Kedon Slovis: His poise, polish and arm talent have made him the second-best QB performer in practice. Is he game ready if need be?

WR Munir McClain: Fast, fluid and physical, the passing game actually experienced a slight regression when he was out in camp. How many snaps per game can he expect in this uptempo offense?

DE Drake Jackson: He’s been the most disruptive player in the front six/seven since spring. How will his strength and quickness translate in his first season?

CB Chris Steele: He doesn’t shy away from competition and has demonstrated steady improvement over the past couple weeks. Will his active hands make him a target for PI calls?

P Ben Griffiths: His booming leg and plus hangtime are true weapons in special teams. How much will it dictate USC’s aggressiveness on fourth downs?

Also considered: WR John Jackson III, WR Drake London, DT De’jon Benton
