For the fourth time this year, USC’s 2018 roster has taken a significant hit.
On his personal Twitter account Saturday night, Rasheem Green announced that "[a]fter a lot of careful thought and discussions with my family, trusted friends, and the USC coaching staff,” he has decided to forego his senior season and make himself available for the April NFL draft.

Green was named first-team All-Pac-12 following the 2017 season. The 6-5, 280-pound defensive lineman led the Trojans in sacks each of the past two seasons -- six in 2016 and 10 this past year.
In addition to Green, wide receiver Deontay Burnett (HERE), quarterback Sam Darnold (HERE) and running back Ronald Jones (HERE) have all announced they were leaving USC early for the NFL.
