USC QB Miller Moss’ draft stock continues to rise

USC Trojans quarterback Miller Moss’s toughness and leadership, which impress teammates, coaches, opponents and analysts alike, were on full display during his Week 5 performance against the Wisconsin Badgers. 

The 22-year-old redshirt junior enrolled at USC in 2021. A consensus four-star recruit, ESPN rated him the No. 7 QB in the 2021 recruiting cycle. In his first three years with the Trojans, Moss saw limited action, backing up Keedon Slovis and Jaxson Dart in 2021, then serving as understudy to Caleb Williams in 2022 and 2023. However, he patiently persevered and is now shining brightly.

In USC’s first four games this season, Moss has thrown for 1,198 yards and eight touchdowns. Completing 65.43 percent of his passes, he has thrown only two interceptions. Thanks mainly to Moss’ performance, the Trojans are 3-1 and ranked No. 11 in the AP Top 25.

Against Wisconsin, Moss led the Trojans to a 38-21 victory with numerous dazzling, highlight-reel plays.
