After seeing minimal action for USC in 2023, a former prized Trojans recruit is headed elsewhere in 2024.
Malachi Nelson—a five-star recruit for USC in the Class of 2023 out of Los Alamitos, Calif.—is officially transferring to Boise State, he announced on social media Saturday evening.
Nelson, 19, entered the transfer portal on Dec. 17—10 days before the Trojans' 42-28 win over No. 16 Louisville in the Holiday Bowl. He played just one game for USC in '23, completing 1 of 3 pass attempts in the then-No. 6 Trojans' 56-28 win over San Jose State on Aug. 26.
