USC's offense was hit hard by players leaving school early for the NFL draft, and the defense took a blow on Saturday as Rasheem Green announced he's forgoing his senior season to turn pro.
Green was a standout performer for the Trojans all season, registering a whopping 10 sacks despite missing two games. The 6-foot-4, 275-pounder led the team in tackles for loss with 12.5 while also forcing a fumble.
With quarterback Sam Darnold, running back Ronald Jones II, and receiver Deontay Burnett also declaring for the draft, head coach Clay Helton certainly has his work cut out for him in defending the Pac-12 title next season.
