The USC Trojans are gearing up for what promises to be a momentous 2023 season. With hopes of capturing their 12th national championship, all eyes will be on USC to see if they can achieve their lofty goal. One major factor contributing to the Trojans' potential success is their Heisman Trophy winner, Caleb Williams. His talent and leadership make him a key player in the team's quest for glory. 

Still, there are a ton of other players who will play a big role in the team's success and earned the top spots in USC team reporter Eric McKinney's Trojan player rankings.

McKinney has been doing the rankings for a while and has come down to this top 5 players going into 2023, and by no one's surprise, Caleb earns the top spot. 

Quarterback Caleb Williams is the best player in college football. His spot at No. 1 on this list needs no further explanation. The Trojans can still win some games if he’s sidelined for some reason. But USC isn’t a national championship contender without him. He’s special and could cement himself as the best USC quarterback of all time in just two seasons.

However, Williams isn't the only player expected to make a significant impact. McKinney's top five Trojans also include transfer defensive lineman Bear Alexander, center Justin Dedich, safety Calen Bullock, and linebacker Mason Cobb. These players have shown their worth and are crucial to the team's success.

It's important to remember that football is a team sport, and the efforts of every player on the roster, including those ranked 10th, 25th, and 50th, will contribute to the Trojans' collective success.

As the season approaches, anticipation builds for what this talented USC team will bring to the field. In just a couple of weeks, fans will witness the collective effort and determination of the Trojans as they embark on their championship pursuit. 

With Caleb Williams leading the charge and a roster filled with impactful players, USC has the potential to make a memorable run. It's an exciting time for Trojans fans, and the stage is set for an exhilarating season filled with thrilling moments and a united team striving for greatness.
