USC's most glaring need in this post-spring transfer portal cycle was linebacker, where the Trojans lacked both numbers and any experienced depth.
They addressed that need Tuesday as Penn State transfer Ta'Mere Robinson announced his USC commitment after visiting over the weekend.
The 6-foot-3, 223-pound Robinson played in all 14 games as a redshirt freshman, logging 100 defensive snaps and totaling 11 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. But he was a four-star Rivals250 prospect in the 2023 recruiting class, and the Trojans believe he has a lot of untapped potential.
Which is really all USC needed in addressing the depth chart at linebacker, where redshirt senior Eric Gentry and sophomore Desman Stephens II are locked in as the starters but converted safety Anthony Beavers is the most experienced player behind them while redshirt freshman Jadyn Walker is generating some positive buzz in spring practice.
