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.

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.

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…
