The countdown to USC’s 2025 football season is officially on! The Trojans kick off their new campaign 16 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 look at former USC wide receiver Tahj Washington.
Position: Wide receiver
Years played at USC: 2021-2023
Career highlights: Washington played his first two seasons of college football at Memphis, before transferring to USC in 2021. In 2021 and 2022, he finished second on the team in receiving, behind future first round NFL Draft picks Drake London and Jordan Addison, respectively. As a redshirt senior in 2023, Washington finally got the chance to be the Trojans’ go-to option in the passing game. He finished that season with 59 catches for 1,062 yards and eight touchdowns.
After USC: The Miami Dolphins selected Washington in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft. However, he unfortunately missed his entire rookie season due to a leg injury. Washington returned to the field this year and impressed in Miami’s preseason opener this past week. He is looking to earn a spot on the team’s roster and playing time in 2025.
