In one of the biggest moves this college football transfer season, Pitt receiver Jordan Addison is headed to USC
Addison was this season’s Biletnikoff winner as the nation’s best receiver and regarded as the top prospect in the transfer portal.
In his sophomore season, the All-American recorded 100 catches for 1,593 receiving yards. Addison was expected to be a hot target for Nick Saban and Alabama’s loaded depth at wideout, but the better bidder in USC landed the elite receiver.
Addison announced earlier that he had narrowed down his options to USC and Steve Sarkisian’s Longhorns. He released a statement following the announcement:
“I have now carefully considered the advice of my family and close friends and fully weighed both the risks and benefits associated with my decision. I also respect that others may make a different choice. But for me, I will continue my full development as a student athlete by enrolling at USC. …”

“the better bidder”….follow the money. NIL is NOT making college football better.
