USC tight end Lake McRee is making a notable impact on the Trojans’ offense this season after recovering from a torn ACL that kept him sidelined for months. McRee suffered the injury during bowl practice last December, missing the Holiday Bowl and casting doubt on his availability for the 2024 season. However, just eight months later, he has returned to action and is leading USC in receptions and receiving yards after two games.

McRee’s return is timely, as USC adjusts its offensive approach under quarterback Miller Moss, who has been utilizing tight ends more effectively than in past seasons. The Trojans have embraced a more balanced offensive strategy, incorporating multiple tight ends into their game plan. McRee has played a key role in this shift, receiving significant targets, which shows the coaching staff’s commitment to involving tight ends in the passing game.
With a deeper and more talented tight end group this season, McRee’s comeback not only marks a personal achievement but also strengthens the entire position. His resilience and performance are helping to redefine USC’s offensive strategy as they push for a successful season.
