Ykili Ross plans to leave USC football as graduate transfer

The arrival of USC football’s 2018 depth chart brought with it a major departure: redshirt junior safety Ykili Ross.

Ross will concentrate on graduating this fall semester then look to become a graduate transfer following the season, according to USC’s UNLV game notes.

Thus ends a saga which began during the Trojans’ Mock Game Week on Wednesday when Ross got heated at practice, argued with teammates and missed several segments of action.

Ykili Ross got enraged and in a tiff that led to him walking away from the team.

He took a super slow walk around Howard Jones Field & missed a full team and lengthy special teams period.
