The Trojans are expected to open the Bloom Football Performance Center in the summer of 2026, and the new state-of-the-art facilities will only attract more former USC stars to come back to campus and hone their craft.

Moss and Hudson finished their college careers after the 2025 season, and both of them were signed by the Chicago Bears as undrafted free agents following the 2026 NFL Draft. As a result, Williams, Moss, and Hudson are reunited as former Trojans in the league.

However, out of the former Trojans players photographed in Morris' post, only Williams finished his career at USC. He arrived in Southern California alongside coach Lincoln Riley as the two came over together from the Oklahoma Sooners, and Williams left USC as a Heisman Trophy winner and the eventual No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Miller Moss, Kyron Hudson's Post USC Careers

As for Moss and Hudson, they transferred out of USC following the 2024 season. Moss spent his final year of eligibility at Louisville, and Hudson transferred to Penn State.

Before leaving the Trojans, Moss waited patiently behind Williams before earning his chance at the starting quarterback job in Riley's offense. Moss burst onto the scene in the 2023 Holiday Bowl, throwing six touchdowns against Louisville and leading the Trojans to a bowl win with Williams opting out to prepare for the NFL Draft.

Moss started the 2025 season as USC's quarterback, throwing 2,555 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 9 interceptions while completing 64.4 percent of his passes. In 9 starts, Moss had a 4-5 record as the Trojans' quarterback. Riley ultimately benched Moss in favor of current USC quarterback Jayden Maiava, and Moss subsequently transferred to Louisville.

As for Hudson, he was part of a crowded wide receiver room that featured former Trojans like Makai Lemon, Ja'Kobi Lane, Zachariah Branch, Duce Robinson, and Hudson himself. After the 2024 season, Branch transferred to Georgia, Robinson transferred to Florida State, and Hudson transferred to Penn State with only so many targets to go around.

Lemon and Lane stayed, and both were selected in the 2026 NFL Draft, and Lemon even won the Biletnikoff Award as the most outstanding receiver in college football. Meanwhile, Hudson logged 23 receptions for 288 yards and 2 touchdowns in 2025 before signing with Chicago as an undrafted free agent.
