USC might finally have its next quarterback. Former UNLV starting QB Jayden Maiava reportedly committed to the Trojans on Tuesday just one day after he said he was headed to Georgia.
The initial choice seemed odd because Maiava would almost certainly be a backup behind 2023 Bulldogs starter Carson Beck, who is returning for the 2024 season.
USC makes more sense for the time being considering the Trojans don’t have a clear starter under center after the departure of Caleb Williams to the NFL.

If Maiava sticks with USC, he’ll have a very real shot of earning the starting job. His biggest competition might be redshirt junior Miller Moss, who has been with USC for the last three years.

The Buckeyes secured a commitment from former Ole Miss RB Quinshon Judkins on Monday night as their rival Michigan was winning the national title over Washington. Judkins visited Columbus over the weekend and could form the best rushing tandem in college football with TreVeyon Henderson if Henderson doesn’t declare for the 2024 NFL draft.
Judkins was an immediate star as a freshman and has led the Rebels in rushing in each of his two seasons with the team. He had 274 carries for 1,567 yards and 16 rushing TDs in 2022 and was an all-SEC performer. In 2023, Judkins dealt with injuries but still played in all 13 of Ole Miss’ games and rushed 271 times for 1,158 yards and 15 TDs. He became the first SEC rusher since Herschel Walker to rush for at least 15 TDs in his first two seasons of college…
