USC Freshman WR Trent Mosley Out for Big Ten Opener at Rutgers with Injury

The freshman receiver had 13 catches for 255 yards and four touchdowns before USC said his return timeline remains unclear.

  • Freshman wide receiver Trent Mosley will miss No. 12 Southern California Trojans' Big Ten opener against Rutgers on Saturday due to an undisclosed injury, USC coach Lincoln Riley confirmed on Wednesday.
  • During last Saturday's 49-30 win over Louisiana, Mosley favored his right knee while walking to the sideline after a touchdown catch, prompting trainers to examine him on the field.
  • Recording 13 receptions for 255 yards and four touchdowns during nonconference play, the freshman became a dynamic weapon while also returning five punts for 158 yards, including one 86-yard score.
  • Zacharyus Williams and other freshman receivers are expected to see increased snaps as USC rotates its receiving corps, with the Big Ten's expanded availability reporting system confirming the status.
  • Riley described the timeline for Mosley's return as "inconclusive," noting he does not expect the absence to be "extremely long-term," though staff will continue monitoring his recovery throughout the season.
