USC quarterback Caleb Williams wanted Dorian Singer to play for the Trojans ever since their game against Arizona in Tucson.
Justin Spears Between conversations on the sidelines with coaches and teammates, Caleb Williams couldn’t help but plant his eyes on the video board on the south side of Arizona Stadium.Singer, who was second in the Pac-12 with 1,105 yards last season, had seven catches for 141 yards and three touchdowns in the Wildcats’ 45-37 loss to USC in 2022. One of those touchdown catches was an acrobatic one-handed, left-handed catch around Trojans defensive back Jaylin Smith.

When you throw the ball to him, and I try to throw a perfect ball every single play I get because it’s my job ... most of the time it’s going to be caught. I can’t wait.”
“It’s like every day, you really have to compete because the man next to you is, if not better than you, he’s the same,” he said. The Trojans also added multi-year defensive starters from Arizona in cornerback Christian Roland-Wallace and defensive tackle Kyon Barrs. Roland-Wallace, the Palm Desert, California, native, was heavily recruited by the Trojans, but despite a last-minute push by USC, he signed with the Wildcats in 2019.
“They’re guys that are all three physically in a great place,” Riley said. “They’ve done a great job developing through their careers, I think have continued to develop as they’ve been on our campus.
