The USC Trojans are finding out the wild side of the transfer portal after UCF Knights defensive back Chasen Johnson committed USC and coach Lincoln Riley before flipping and officially signing with the SMU Mustangs.
Johnson is currently rated as a three-star prospect and the No. 12 cornerback in the transfer portal.
USC will be losing defensive backs Akili Arnold, Bryson Shaw, Jacobe Covington, John Humphrey, Jaylin Smith, Greedy Vance, DeCarlos Nicholson, and Prophet Bolden to graduation in the spring. Trojans' safety Kamari Ramsey has been picking up NFL interest throughout the season. That's nine members of the secondary that the Trojans could have to replace for the 2025 season.
