Dated 8/25. No idea if it is real. Nonetheless.
https://www.ourlads.com/ncaa-football-depth-charts/depth-chart/usc/92269
Offensively, no surprises. Mosley starts at the slot. But he’s been hyped since spring.
Defensively, surprises:
Boucard starts as DT, and Abasiri is 2nd string DE. Wafle is 3rd string DE.
Walker starts at LB next to Stephens. That’s 240 lb and 250 lb of LBs.Graham starts at NB.
Special teams are interesting. Frosh will be catching the rock with Mosley as the PR, and Redauex and Alston as the KRs.
Riley’s most talented squad. Easily. Lots of depth at WR, RB, DL, and DBs.

I just saw the projected depth chart on a USC board and it matches OURLads UNOFFICIAL. official should be out Thursday . Two true Fr on offense with Bowman and Mosley. Mosley beat out the more experienced Z Williams. Treter had a good camp and won himself a spot. Treter best out Kaylon Miller. The left side of the OL is huge with Paige, Treter and Raymond.

OK Bruddah Balls, surprising but from experience I have found Ourlads as guessing the depth chart, not on 1st string, but 2nd string and backups. I will wait for the main website (from the coaches) and look over their official depth chart… Cheers
I just searched USC Athletics, WeAreSC, Rivals, 247 and non of them have posted the real C.LR depth chart. May I ash what official web site you saw to backup Ourlands depthchart? Sorry, I go by the main sites over Ourlands.
One more thing, all TV podcaster shows like projecting their version of depth charts, but again they’re giving guesstimates and opinions…

As I stated, Ourlads are only 70% correct. They do not have inside info from the coaching staff. LOL, today 3 main Podcaster shows had to explain they got things wrong and save face to their fans. I had a big kick listening to them. God Bless these podcasters, just trying to make a living. Here is the real depth cart by C.LR
I posted something the other day, listening to USC beat reporter from SI, shoot he has inside info. He got things right.
8-20-26
Just saw one of USC main podcaster show, along with his guess, beat writer for Sports Illustrated who has access to practices. They covered several topics.
1. Young guys, most impactful, impressive players all summer camp. These guys will see the field and in the rotation.
Defense: DL Tomu Topui, LB Talanoa Ili, DB Alex Graham, DE Luke Waffle, DE Jayden Ramos, DB Madden Riordan. SI writer said the D looks very good, very physical, playing fast. Watch out for our D dis season.
Offense: TE Mark Bowden, Wr Trent Mosley, Wr Kayden Dixion Wyatt, Wr Boobie Feaster, OL Hayden Treter, RB room. The RB’s looks strong, fast and good depth. C.LR will run da ball hard dis season. The OL looks sharp, strong and will make C.LR run game potent.

This post will show how Ourlads were and always wrong with their Depth Chart. I strongly feel writers, editors for some media and podcasters, should refrain from guessing important info. Instead, they should stipulate what ever they are saying or writing is Not Official and dat it’s only their opinion. Because, if they do not do that, it hurts their reputation & credibility big time.
Also, SM are not reliable info (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, X-Twitter, Reddit, What’s App and WeChat. I do not belong to any SM, but I do visit, see YouTube for Podcaster shows. I think they give pretty good info, like 75% good, solid info. The other 25% info are guesstimates and opinions. Heck, I give these guys a slide, they got to make a living and pay their bills.
I remember years ago, when 2 major R service guys were junior R analyst (do not want to name them, but they are big guys now) gave their thumbs up, will be Trojans, 100% will sign for 3 HS R. These 3 HS players were playing around with USC fans and giving mixed media info. At the time, I felt what they were doing and predicted will Not Sign with USC. Sure enough, all 3 picked signed with other schools. I looked for these 2 R guys explanation, but they hid, kept quiet and zero explanation. In my eyes dat was all bad and till today have zero respect for them. And, today many look at them as rock stars in the R world. Not me. Shoot, these 2 guys did not even play FB at any level. What President Trump call these people, “Fake News and Journalist”, lol… Cheers
OK, I’m gonna list most of the players dat Ourlads and even the 3 major podcasters got wrong. It will seem like I’m bashing them so be it, but these people must be accountable; they are in the business of giving out information to USC fans.
Wr’s and TE’s. Many fans place HS stats, high star ratings (R services) athleticism as must get players. For me, yes those are important, but I need seeing them in action in games. I look if they play hard all 4 qts, sure hands, blocking skills at point of attack and if they continue blocking downfield as very important traits. Our 1st string and 2 string Wr’s are young, but I’m betting they are A+ blockers and practiced hard all summer camp.
TE Mark Bowman, Wr Trent Mosley, KD Wyatt (all true Fr) saw them play many times in HS games and they were blocking animals. So I’m not surprised they are starters, 1st string.
Official depth chart vs Ourlad’s depth chart.
Wr’s. T. Anderson not listed, OL had him starter. Read dat he is a little banged up. I’m sure he will be a starter when he gets healthy. T.Hines 2nd string, OL had him as 1st string/starter. Dang, looks like OL did not know he came to camp late due to rehabbing an injury? He will be a starter soon, like Anderson.
QB. Jonas Williams, QB3. All podcasters had him as QB2. Looks like C.LR does not feel he is ready if Maiava goes down. No big deal, he is our future QB1
OL. Aaron Dunn, 2nd string, OL had him 3rd string. V. Dyakonov, 2nd string, OL had him 3rd string.
DL. DE Luke Waffle, 1st string, OL had him 3rd string. Tomu Topui 2nd string, OL had him 4th string. J. Ramos 2nd string, OL did not list him. Jarrett and Stewart (out, not listed), OL had both at 2nd string. DE Shelby not listed, OL had him 1st string. Man Ourlads FU big time with the DL positions.
LB. T. Robinson, 2nd string. OL had him 3rd string.
DB. Mad Riordan (S) 2nd string. OL had him 3rd string.
