USC boasts one of the most talented receiving corps in the nation and last season proved that the Trojans needed an offensive system where all of these talented receivers could shine. Tyler Vaughns took full advantage of the switch from Tee Martin’s offense to Graham Harrell’s wide open air-raid attack.

Vaughns has been a star since he was a freshman in 2017 when he caught 57 passes for 809 yards for five touchdowns and helped lead USC to a Pac-12 championship and earn a berth in the Cotton Bowl.

Last season, Vaughns had career highs in 2019 with 74 catches for 912 yards and six touchdowns.

Vaughns is a physical receiver who is at his best when he is making tough catches and getting yards after the catch. He will have more opportunities for touches this year with wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. off to the NFL and another offseason to be learning Harrell’s offense.

Expect Vaughns to really put it all together this season and help USC’s offense be one of the best in the Pac-12 and the nation.
