Last month, USC football announced that Zach Hanson would move from coaching tight ends to the offensive line. While that filled the Trojans’ void at OL coach, it also meant that they needed a new tight ends coach.

On Tuesday, USC filled that void when the Trojans hired Colorado State’s Chad Savage. Savage will coach both tight ends and inside receivers at USC.

Savage has been at Colorado State since 2022, where he has served as the wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator. Prior to that, he was the tight ends coach at Nevada.

Just 30 years old, Savage quickly established himself as one of the top young recruiters on the West Coast during his three years with the Rams. That should certainly help the Trojans, whose recruiting classes have not nearly lived up to par the last two cycles.

Savage will inherit a solid tight end room at USC. The Trojans are set to return Lake McRee, Walker Lyons, and Kade Eldridge in 2025.
