01 · The NewsWhat Happened

Ryan Kartje reports that USC receiver Boobie Feaster has moved quickly up the Trojans’ depth chart ahead of Saturday’s season opener against San José State. Feaster is 17 years old and is among the USC freshmen who may be needed before the receiver room settles. The report identifies him as one of the team’s playmakers to watch, but USC has not publicly confirmed a starting assignment or defined his expected workload. His rise gives the Trojans another young option as the opener approaches.

The tell: The first personnel grouping and the receiver who remains beside Feaster in important passing situations will show whether his rise is a featured role or part of a wider freshman rotation.
