College football powerhouse to lose 4th player to transfer ahead of major bowl game

This school is bleeding talent now.

The USC Trojans had a strong finish to the 2016 season, but they are set to lose their fourth player to transfer before Monday's Rose Bowl appearance against Penn State.

Center Khaliel Rodgers is seeking a graduate transfer, and he will be eligible immediately wherever he decides to transfer.

Rodgers, a redshirt junior, has already graduated from USC, and he has one year of eligibility remaining. He has been plagued with injuries throughout his career, and his latest injury was a concussion suffered against Notre Dame.

Rodgers started six games at center last season and three games at guard in 2014. He is the fourth USC player to transfer this season, following quarterback Max Browne's transfer to Pitt, as well as linemen E.J. Price and Noah Jefferson earlier this season.
