Watching USC football’s sixth practice of Fall Camp at the Coliseum on Thursday, you wouldn’t think the Trojans were in the process of replacing two of their top three leading receivers from 2017.
The receiving corps is oddly settled after just a week of camp action. Tyler Vaughns has stepped into Deontay Burnett’s shoes with the same quiet confidence as the now-Tennessee Titan receiver. Opposite Vaughns, Michael Pittman looks like the sure-fire starter he’s been expected to become.
There’s no question who USC’s top two receivers are for 2018, and a potential third is already coming into focus.
