USC is bringing in some reinforcements at wide receiver after losing a pair of playmakers to the NFL Draft.

The Trojans landed NC State transfer Terrell Anderson from the portal on Monday, according to On3's Keegan Pope.

Anderson is the No. 4 receiver in On3's portal rankings and the 26th overall player available. He tallied 53 catches for 787 yards and six touchdowns across two seasons at NC State. Most of that production (39 grabs, 629 yards, five TDs) came this past season as a sophomore, when he lead the team in receiving yards. He has two years of eligibility remaining.

The 6-foot-3, 185-pound player will be brought in to help replace the production of Makai Lemon and Ja’Kobi Lane, both of whom are declaring for the NFL Draft. Quarterback Jayden Maiava, however, is returning for the Trojans in 2026.
