Impact Hines was a limited participant in the Trojans' spring ball, and while he's not ready to play yet, he's trending in the right direction and should be ready to roll for the season opener in late August. Hines had 34 catches for 561 yards and two touchdowns in 2025, and he figures to have a big role in USC's passing attack in 2026.

Will be limited in spring Hines (undisclosed) will be limited in spring after undergoing an offseason procedure, Chris Trevino of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Hines looks to have tweaked something this past season, and he'll now be a limited participant in the Trojans' spring ball. The incoming sophomore wide receiver will hopefully get back to 100 percent before fall camp, as he's primed to be USC's top option in the passing game this upcoming campaign. He brought in 34 catches for 561 yards and two touchdowns this past season.

Career game vs. TCU Hines hauled in 6 of 10 targets for 163 yards during Tuesday's 30-27 overtime loss versus TCU.

Impact Hines was outstanding against the Horned Frogs, as he compiled the first 100-plus yard game of his career with the Trojans' two star receivers, Makai Lemon and Ja'Kobi Lane, opting out. His 10 targets were a career high, and it's safe to say he made the most of them. Hines proved he can be a reliable go-to wideout, and he should be primed to explode in his sophomore season.

Leads wideouts with 141 yards Hines gathered in all six targets for 141 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-27 loss against Oregon.

Impact Hines shone in the loss, benefitting from the attention given to Makai Lemon and Ja'Kobi by Oregon's secondary. Saturday marked Hines' best totals of the season, and the freshman's future looks quite bright. If Lemon leaves for the NFL as expected, Hines will jump to the forefront of USC's offense. Who throws him the ball is an open question, because Jayden Maiava is at least a month away from announcing his intentions for next season.
