The countdown to USC’s 2025 football season is officially on! The Trojans kick off their new campaign 87 days from today. You need something to help you while away the days and hours in the spring and summer. This is one way to do so. In this new series, countdown to kickoff, we will be counting down the days by highlighting a notable Trojan who wore each number. Today, we take a look at current USC tight end Lake McRee.
Position: Tight end
Years played at USC: 2021-present
Career highlights: McRee saw action in four games as a true freshman in 2021, preserving his redshirt status. Over the past three seasons, he has served a key role in USC’s tight end room, becoming a regular starter this past season. For his career thus far, McRee has 67 receptions for 704 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
McRee enters the 2025 season as one of the last remaining players who played for Clay Helton at USC. He will look to step up as a leader for the Trojans not just within the tight end room, but across the team as a whole.
