USC running back Markese Stepp enters transfer portal
LA TimesUSC running back Markese Stepp celebrates after scoring on a two-yard touchdown run in the second half against Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., on Oct. 12, 2019. When he first burst onto the scene last season, Markese Stepp seemed destined to be USC’s next bellcow back. When Malepeai, USC’s leading rusher, was ruled out of the Pac-12 title game a week later with an injury, Helton turned back to Stepp, suggesting earlier in the week that he was “on the verge of exploding, to be honest with you.” “It has not been the easiest of roads in dealing with an injury, especially the one he had at running back,” Helton said. The Trojans did sign a four-star running back in its 2021 class, and it’s possible that Brandon Campbell could step into a significant role next season alongside Christon in USC’s backfield.
