USC Notes: Tackett Curtis Enters Transfer Portal

Linebacker Tackett Curtis has entered the transfer portal, according to Luca Evans.

New linebackers coach Matt Entz will start at USC sooner-than-he-wanted as North Dakota State lost to Montana, 31-29, in overtime at the FCS semifinals. If North Dakota State had won, Entz wouldn’t have started before Jan. 7. USC will be expected to now land his brother, Oregon State safety Akili Arnold. The brothers are visiting USC this weekend. “That guy is going to be hell … Continue reading Sunday Buzz: Matt Entz Gets Early Start at USC
