Anderson was a major transfer portal addition for USC in the offseason USC wide receiver Terrell Anderson will undergo season-ending surgery, according to CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz. Anderson was a huge pick-up for the Trojans in the transfer portal, but his season is over after just three games and two receptions for 50 yards. A four-star recruit coming out of high school, Anderson spent the first two seasons of his college career at NC State, where he broke out as a sophomore in 2025. Last fall, Anderson totaled 39 receptions for 629 yards and five touchdowns. When Anderson entered the portal, there was plenty of interest in him, given his unique combination of size and skill.

He was ranked as the No. 10 overall transfer, according to 247Sports. When the Trojans signed Anderson, he was viewed as a potential superstar with Jayden Maiava throwing him the football. Unfortunately for Maiava and the Trojans, the injury has impacted Anderson throughout the season. He missed the season-opener against Fresno State, and he played only sparingly in the last three games. Anderson recorded two receptions for 50 yards in a loss to Oregon, but that's the only time he appeared on the stat sheet outside of punt returns. With Anderson on the shelf for the remainder of the season, USC will need production
