USC Star Jordan Throws First Pitch at Yankees Game
21 Jun
Summary
- Waymond Jordan threw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium.
- Jordan is returning for his second season with USC in 2026.
- Maiava returns as USC's starting quarterback for the 2026 season.
USC Trojans running back Waymond Jordan made an appearance at Yankee Stadium on Saturday, throwing out the ceremonial first pitch. Jordan, who transferred to USC after the 2024 season, was in the midst of a breakout 2025 season before a season-ending injury in October.
Jordan is set to enter his second season with the Trojans in 2026, providing a significant boost to the team's offense. Despite losing key wide receivers, USC's offensive production largely returns, including quarterback Jayden Maiava. Maiava, who started all 13 games in 2025, has opted to return for another season with USC.
Freshman wide receiver Tanook Hines is expected to step into a larger role, and walk-on running back King Miller emerged as a significant contributor in 2025. The Trojans are aiming to make the College Football Playoff in 2026 after finishing 9-4 in the previous season.
