Miller Moss Departure Seems Imminent

11/9/2024

TLDR: With Jayden Maiava at the helm for USC Trojans, it seems inevitable that seasoned quarterback Miller Moss will explore transfer options in pursuit of more playing time elsewhere. Moss, who has given USC four dedicated seasons, stands at a crossroads especially with emerging talents like quarterback recruit Julian Lewis vying for attention. As Moss approaches his final year of eligibility, whispers about his next move intensify. The transfer portal’s allure is undeniable, and schools like Michigan Wolverines and Colorado Buffalos may be on his radar due to their quarterback situations. Despite speculation, nothing is set in stone until the portal is active. Keeping sentiments aside, it seems Coach Lincoln Riley’s vision for Moss is waning, adding pressure on Riley’s own tenure. The chessboard is set: where Moss will make his next move remains one of college football’s burning questions as 2024 nears its curtain call.


Ah, college football, the perpetual soap opera that keeps on giving. With Jayden Maiava taking center stage for the USC Trojans, the spotlight grows duller for quarterback Miller Moss. Lincoln Riley’s decision, possibly a strategic masterstroke or maybe just another head-scratcher, has sparked relentless chatter. After a formidable four seasons, Moss’s future at USC seems to be ebbing away like the notorious California coastline retreating from high tide. Moss has given his all, but like a summer romance fizzling under autumn clouds, he’s likely to seek greener pastures – and hey, who can blame him?

The November air in California is filled with speculation as Maiava is set to face the Nebraska Cornhuskers on November 16. The deck seemed stacked when Moss grabbed the starting gig in summer. But now, with a new guy like Maiava rising and hotshot recruit Julian Lewis lurking in the wings, it appears Moss is the odd man out. With just a single year of eligibility left, the clock’s ticking on Moss’s college football journey, and my bets are on him joining the transfer parade.

Possible future rendezvous for Moss include the Michigan Wolverines, a team busy auditioning quarterbacks as if they’re casting directors at a soap opera. Moss, seasoned in Big Ten skirmishes, could be a surefire fit to bring that elusive consistency Michigan craves. While the Colorado Buffalos might momentarily catch his eye post-Shedeur Sanders’ NFL entry, they seem set on tapping the mobile quarterback market. Yet, a possibility, albeit slim, remains relevant: sometimes experience outweighs trendiness.

Before we get too carried away here, it’s still early days with the transfer portal rumor mill warming up. Sure, schools like Alabama and Georgia once courted our boy Moss, hinting at his robust potential. But, those teams have their youthful quarterback empires to tend to. The mystery remains, where will this football sojourner hang his jersey next? Each twist in this saga continues to edge Lincoln Riley closer to his own critical time. One can’t help but wonder if Riley is inadvertently running down the clock on his USC legacy.

Could Moss elect to stay put at USC come 2025? The odds are against it, but you never know when college football’s capricious winds could cause a change of heart. While Coach Riley ponders future quarterback rosters, he dropped a nugget of wisdom saying, “He’s just gotta be ready for the next opportunity.” Sage advice, sure. And for Moss, with the surf possibly up elsewhere, that opportunity awaits beyond the horizon, unfurling a narrative of what might’ve been in Trojan colors.
