Six USC Trojans Freshmen on Offense Whose Stock Has Risen in Fall Camp

USC moved away from fall camp and into Mock Game week with their season opener against San José State on Aug. 29 on the horizon.

Here are six freshmen in the Trojans top-ranked recruiting class on offense whose stock has risen this month.

Kayden Dixon-Wyatt, Receiver

Kayden Dixon-Wyatt arrived at USC a polished receiver. Everything the 6-foot-2, 200-pound Mater Dei (Calif.) product does is explosive. From his releases to route running and creating after the catch.

He gives quarterback Jayden Maiava a vertical threat and someone that has knack for making acrobatic catches. Dixon-Wyatt was able to get extra reps with Maiava in fall camp because Tanook Hines and Terrell Anderson were banged up for parts of camp. He will factor in heavily into the receiver rotation.

Trent Mosley, Receiver

Trent Mosley was phenomenal in the spring. Mosley picked up where he left off last fall, which included a state championship and earning MaxPreps California Player of the Year honors. It’s been more of the same in fall camp. Tight end Tucker Ashcraft didn’t hesitate to say Mosley’s name during media day earlier in August when asked which freshman doesn’t feel like a freshman.

Mosley has similarities to reigning Biletnikoff Award Makai Lemon. The two Orange County natives play much bigger than their size. However, Mosley has more straight line speed. He’s a natural glider with the ball in his hands and has great body control and concentration.

Mosley is another dynamic weapon for Maiava. He can take a screen pass the distance or stretch the field vertically. The former Trinity League star is battling Zacharyus Williams to replace Lemon in the slot.

Boobie Feaster, Receiver

How about one more freshman receiver. Boobie Feaster is a passionate player on the field but with everything else, the Trojans 17-year-old receiver is a fairly quiet and goal-oriented individual.

“Boobie’s very low key. Just kind of works hard,” said USC coach Lincoln Riley. “He's pretty quiet. He's learning fast … he's shown the ability to make some explosive plays.“

Feaster was just one of two summer enrollees. However, USC made sure Feaster was well-prepared in the spring, from zoom calls with receivers coach Dennis Simmons, to multiple visits to campus. All of it has paid off. A decorated player in the state of Texas, the 6-foot-1, 190-pound Feaster is a special talent that will also factor into the receiver rotation immediately.

Jonas Williams, Quarterback

Jonas Williams isn’t as young as Feaster, but he’s still one of the youngest players on the team, having just turned 18 years old over the summer. But you wouldn’t be able to tell.

Williams was a leader in the Trojans recruiting class and has not been afraid to use his voice. Riley has always been diligent in recruiting the quarterback position. In addition to his skillset, Williams’ intangibles are what drew Riley to the four-star quarterback from Chicago.

“He's pretty mature, and his ability to communicate and operate for his age right now is definitely on the higher end of the true freshman that I can remember bringing in throughout the years. He's been really impressive,” Riley said.

Deshonne Redeaux, Running Back

Speedster. That’s how running back King Miller has described freshman Deshonne Redeaux in fall camp.

Redeaux battled an injury that kept him out for a couple of weeks in the spring but exploded the final week and showcased why he was rated the No. 4 running back in the 2026 class. The Oaks Christian (Calif.) product has built upon that in fall camp and solidifies the depth in a talented Trojans running back room.

Vlad Dyakonov, Offensive Tackle

Offensive tackle Vlad Dyakonov was a four-star recruit coming out of Folsom (Calif.) but was still perhaps one of the more underrated offensive signees in the Trojans class.

Dyakonov continued to shoot up recruiting boards his senior year, was a standout during the week of practice at the Navy All-American Game and put together a solid spring. That momentum has bled into the fall. Offensive line coach Zach Hanson has spoken highly of him.

He’s technically sound, physical and has been able to hold his own against any pass rusher on the roster. Dyakonov won’t play this season, he may not even be second on the depth chart because of the depth at the position, but the Trojans have a very good and ascending player for the future.
