Then he ended up enrolling at USC a year later and saw brief action for the Trojans at wide receiver in both the 2008 and 2009 seasons, but did not make any catches. Prior to his senior year, the team moved him from receiver to tight end and really embraced the move. In his final season at USC, he caught 16 passes for 126 yards and a touchdown.
