The portal-bound Moss once wrote a lengthy, year-long thesis at USC on the concept of athletic amateurism – when he had no need to even take the course to graduate.

USC QB Miller Moss will hit the portal when it opens on Dec. 9 and is expected to be one of the most high-profile transfers this offseason.

Southern California quarterback Miller Moss is entering the transfer portal after losing the Trojans' starting job last month. Moss made his announcement on social media Monday. Moss started the Trojans ' bowl victory last season and their first nine games this season before coach Lincoln Riley replaced him with Jayden Maiava in early November.
