LOS ANGELES — Few running backs in the history of Oregon football can say they had a career as prolific as Travis Dye. The Pac-12's leader in all-purpose yards last season, Dye racked up over 3,111 rushing yards, 869 receiving yards and 29 total touchdowns over four years in Eugene, cementing his place in the annals of Oregon football as the fifth-leading rusher in school history.
And now, he's on his way to L.A., the latest top transfer to be reeled in this winter by new Trojans coach Lincoln Riley.
Dye, who starred at Norco (Calif.) High, announced Friday on Instagram that he'll transfer to USC for his final season of collegiate eligibility. He's the second running back to commit to the Trojans from within the conference in two days after Stanford's Austin Jones announced he was joining USC's backfield on Thursday.
