After a brilliant 2021 season, Addison decided to transfer to the University of Southern California to play for the Trojans. Being called straight to the starting lineup, he wore No. 3, which previously belonged to Trojans legend Carson Palmer.

He finished his Trojans career after starting seven out of seven games with 59 receptions, 875 yards received and eight touchdowns. He was also named First-team All-PAC-12 2022.

ESPN lists Addison as the No. 14 overall prospect and No. 2 top wide receiver among all 2023 Draft entrees.

Addison will compete with the Tennessee Volunteers’ Jalin Hyatt and the Ohio State Buckeyes’ Jaxon Smith-Njigba in WR prospect lists.
