Move over Ohio State, USC and Oregon are bringing elite receivers to the Big Ten

When it comes to wide receiver rooms in the Big Ten, lately it’s been Ohio State setting the gold standard, and there’s everyone trying to match it. In 2024, USC and Oregon enter the league with their own elite receiving corps.

Although the Ducks lost multi-year starter Troy Franklin, Tez Johnson emerged last year as a star receiver, leading Oregon with 86 receptions for 1,182 yards and 10 touchdowns. Joining Johnson, Gary Bryant Jr and Traeshon Holden is one of the hottest names in the 2024 transfer portal class, Evan Stewart. Stewart was a five-star prospect from Memphis, Tennessee. He starred at Texas A&M for two years, earning SEC All-Freshman Team honors in 2022 and an FWAA Freshman All-America nod.

On the Conquest Call-In Show, we talk about USC’s wide receiver room, anchored by talented sophomores Zachariah Branch, Duce Robinson, Makai Lemon and Ja’Kobi Lane. There’s a lot to like about USC’s receivers, who join Oregon’s receivers in providing a level of quality and depth that could match what Ohio State is doing at the wide receiver position in the Big Ten this year.
