USC linebacker Hunter Echols could be leaving the program. The rising junior posted the following on Twitter about an hour ago before deleting it:
Sources told me they've heard in recent days that Echols was looking to transfer. It would be a curious move given that he's seemingly in position to earn more playing time this year. Echols has been disciplined in the past for conduct issues, and he and his family have been outspoken at times on social media, including critical comments from his father directed toward other USC players.
I'm working to confirm where exactly things stand with Echols, who I've learned is not in the transfer portal as of Monday evening.
