Wednesday Podcast - USC tight end situation [Ryan Abraham, USCFootball.com]: "True freshman tight end Tyler Petite could play a big role for the Trojans this season. "

Video: Sark post-practice Wednesday [TrojanSports.com]: "Steve Sarkisian faced questions about USC's tight end situation after Wednesday's practice."

Steve Sarkisian appears to be pleased with the progress of the available tight ends [Greg Katz, We Are SC]: "Taylor McNamara transferred to USC in the fall of 2015 after receiving his bachelor's degree from Oklahoma (he is eligible to play at Troy in 2015)."

2015 USC Fall Camp: Previewing the tight ends [JulianLopez, Conquest Chronicles]: "After transferring from Columbia and sitting out the 2014 season due to NCAA transfer rules, Connor Spears worked with the first-team offense during spring ball and impressed with his hands and work ethic."

Fall position group preview: Tight ends [Dan Weber, USCFootball.com]: "On the first day of this summer's player run practices in June, there were zero tight ends to throw the ball to. Not a single one."

Tight end Bryce Dixon allowed back to USC but not to football team [Michael Lev, Orange County Register]: "USC will allow Bryce Dixon to re-enroll in school – but won’t allow him to join the football team."

Dixon a paper Trojan [TrojanSports.com]: "USC announced Bryce Dixon can re-enroll in the university but 'will not be reinstated as a student-athlete.'"

Alert: Bryce Dixon on his way back [Dan Weber, USCFootball.com]: "LA Superior Court judge issues stay of USC student conduct process that expelled the tight end. But there are lots of details to be worked out for this all to happen."

USC Receives Order From Judge In Bryce Dixon Case [Scott Wolf, Inside USC]: "USC has received the written order from Los Angeles Superior Court judge Richard H. O’Brien regarding his stay on tight end Bryce Dixon’s expulsion from the university, according to sources."

Judge opens door for Bryce Dixon to return to USC football team [Gary Klein & Lindsey Thiry, Los Angeles Times]: "A Los Angeles Superior Court judge Wednesday opened the door for Bryce Dixon's possible return to USC's football team by putting his expulsion from the university on hold."

Judge opens door for expelled TE Bryce Dixon to return to USC Trojans [Garry Paskiewitz, We Are SC]: "Dixon did not take part in the Trojans' spring practices because of a "student conduct issue" that involved a sexual assault investigation. Shortly thereafter, it was revealed that Dixon was no longer enrolled at the university."

Tight end remains a position in flux for USC [Michael Lev, Orange County Register]: "USC has more tight ends on its roster now. The Trojans don’t necessarily have more answers. Through four training camp practices, Coach Steve Sarkisian and his staff are still trying to figure things out at the team’s most."
