USC has lost a former starting wide receiver to the transfer portal.

Mario Williams has entered the portal, according to multiple reports. The talented receiver originally came to Los Angeles with quarterback Caleb Williams. The receiver finished tied for the 3rd-most receptions on the Trojans in 2023 and had the 5th-most receiving yards.

The news was first shared by ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg:

Now, after 2 seasons with the Trojans, Williams will look for his 3rd college team.

The receiver came down with 35 catches for 380 yards and 4 touchdowns in 2021 for the Oklahoma Sooners. In 2022, his debut season with the Trojans, Williams grabbed 40 catches for 631 yards and 5 TDs. In 2023, Williams finished with 29 catches for 305 yards and 2 TDs.

Williams is just the latest offensive weapon to transfer from the Trojans. The team has also watched running backs Darwin Barlow and Raleek Brown, wide receiver Michael Jackson III, and tight end Jude Wolfe enter the portal this offseason. Additionally, star QB Caleb Williams will be entering the 2024 NFL Draft.

USC will close out the 2023 season against Louisville in the Holiday Bowl.
