Amid several unexpected transfer exits, USC football got one piece of badly-needed good news this week. On Monday, tight end Lake McRee confirmed on social media that he will return to USC for his final season of eligibility. The redshirt junior has started at tight end for the better part of the past three seasons.
In his career as a Trojan, McRee has caught 67 passes for 704 yard and three touchdowns. However, his contributions go beyond the stat sheet, as he has also served as a valuable blocking presence during that time.
With the return of McRee, USC’s tight end room should be in a good place heading into 2025. The Trojans also bring back Walker Lyons and Kade Eldridge, both of whom saw playing time as freshmen in 2025.
The room will have a new coach leading the way, however. With Zach Hanson moving over to coach the offensive line, USC on Tuesday hired Colorado State’s Chad Savage to serve as tight ends and inside receivers coach.
