USC Quarterback Malachi Nelson Seeks Transfer, Sources Confirm

USC quarterback Malachi Nelson, the No. 1 recruit in the 2023 class, has entered the transfer portal, sources confirmed. Nelson had initially committed to Oklahoma but switched to USC after coach Lincoln Riley moved to the Trojans. Despite enrolling early at USC, Nelson spent the season as a backup and appeared in only one game. His decision to enter the transfer portal will allow him to explore other options and potentially find a starting role elsewhere.
