Former OSU quarterback Brendan Costello has found a landing spot in his home state as he is set to join USC starting this upcoming season as a preferred walk-on, Yahoo Sports’ Pete Thamel reported Sunday.
Costello entered the transfer portal last spring and drew interest from Utah, Michigan State, Indiana and others in recent weeks, according to 247Sports. The decision to commit to the Trojans allows him to return close to home as he’s from San Clemente, Calif.
The 6-foot quarterback signed with OSU as part of its 2019 class. A three-star recruit, he was heralded as one of the more promising signees because of his experience in a similar system and big arm.
