BREAKING: Emmanuel Pregnon shocked USC Trojans with decommitment, flipped To Tennessee Volunteers Football strengthen the squad stronger than ever”…
It seems as though the Emmanuel Pregnon saga has finally reached a conclusion. For USC fans, it isn’t a particularly pleasant one.
On Tuesday, Pregnon announced that he will play his final season of college football at Oregon next year. The announcement marks (presumably, at least) the conclusion of what has been a wild few weeks for him.
For pretty much the entire regular season, the general consensus was that USC’s redshirt senior offensive guard would move on to the NFL. In November, Pregnon even accepted an invitation to the East-West Shrine Bowl.
Prior to USC’s Las Vegas Bowl matchup against Texas A&M, however, new offensive line coach Zach Hanson surprisingly announced that Pregnon would be returning to USC for his sixth and final season of eligibility. The move was a huge boost for the Trojans, as Pregnon was arguably USC’s top offensive lineman in 2024.
