Lincoln Riley's USC Trojans team just got even better on Thursday. The Trojans are set to add the top transfer player in the nation, superstar wide receiver Jordan Addison. Addison took to Twitter to share an emotional message in which announced his decision to head to USC. The former Biletnikoff Award winner opted to leave Pittsburgh after the 2021 season and is now set to head out West and join up with Riley in Southern California as a member of the new-look Trojans.

This is an absolutely massive coup for USC, as there was hardly a program across the country that wasn't keen on adding Addison to their ranks.

Last season playing alongside Kenny Pickett at Pitt, Addison recorded 100 receptions, 1,593 receiving yards, and 17 receiving touchdowns. He also scored one touchdown on the ground, bringing his season tally to 18 scores. It was a sensational sophomore year for the Frederick, Maryland native, who is now set to join one of the top teams in the country in USC.

Addison is already heralded as a potential first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, so he'll look to further improve his draft stock with a strong season in Riley's offense at USC. He'll be playing alongside fellow transfer in quarterback Caleb Williams, who joined USC from Oklahoma during the offseason.

Since arriving at USC, Lincoln Riley has swiftly managed to bring in some serious talent to the team, and that continued on Thursday with the addition of Addison, who figures to stand in as the team's top target on offense. Trojan fans better be fired up about this season, because this team is loaded and figures to make a ton of noise throughout the year.
