It has certainly been an interesting 12 months for former USC quarterback Miller Moss. This time a year ago, he was preparing to take over as the starting quarterback at USC after waiting his turn for three years. Following an up-and-down 2024 season, however, Moss is now at Louisville, where he is getting set to play his final season of college football.
Last week, ESPN's Bill Connelly released his list of the 40 most important players for the 2025 college football season. While no current USC players made the rankings, Moss did, coming in at No. 31. Here is what Connelly had to say about the former USC signal caller:
'Moss was on this list last year as he prepared to succeed Caleb Williams at USC,' Corelli wrote. 'He started the season brilliantly in a win over LSU but finished it on the bench as the Trojans wound up 7-6. He wasn't bad -- he finished 26th in Total QBR -- but a fresh start sure seemed like a decent idea. Jeff Brohm has a pretty good history with quarterbacks, and Moss will have one of the nation's best RB duos (plus explosive receiver Chris Bell) in support. A big Moss season makes the Cardinals contenders.'
While he may not be wearing Cardinal and Gold anymore, Moss was class act who represented the Trojans with pride during his four years on campus. USC fans will certainly be wishing him success at Louisville this season and wherever his future takes him beyond that.
