Just reached out to the redshirt junior safety and he confirmed he will not be returning to the team.
As I reported Thursday, he initially decided to leave the team about 10 days ago and then reaffirmed that decision during a follow-up conversation with Clay Helton. I’ve been told the staff wasn’t going out of its way to talk him out of leaving, so consider it a mutual decision.
This leaves USC with four scholarship safeties unless Bubba Bolden, who is suspended indefinitely, is reinstated.
