Trent Mosley emerges as standout freshman receiver for USC

USC Trojans freshman wide receiver Trent Mosley has emerged as a standout performer in the early stages of the 2026 college football season. Following a strong spring and fall camp, Mosley delivered an impactful debut against San Jose State, recording seven receptions for 118 yards and a touchdown.

He continued his momentum in Week 1 against Fresno State, securing four receptions for 104 yards and two touchdowns, both occurring in the first half. Head Coach Lincoln Riley noted that Mosley’s performance on the field mirrors his high level of play during practice.

A former highly-rated recruit from Santa Margarita Catholic High School, Mosley graduated early to join USC. He has attributed his success to maintaining focus and building trust with his teammates and quarterback Jayden Maiava.
