Helium Boys Podcast: USC adds WR transfer, listener mailbag and best movies in 2024

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino are back behind the microphones for another episode of the Helium Boys Podcast, a serious non-serious USC football podcast. The Helium Boys return to talk about the latest developments for USC in the transfer portal, including the loss of stalwart offensive lineman Emmanuel Pregnon along with replacements on the offensive line the Trojans have picked up after Pregnon's departure and the addition of Boise State receiver Prince Strachan.

The episode opens with the Helium Boys staple 'Two-Minute Drill' that features Chris and Shotgun sending their thoughts and condolences along to everyone dealing with struggles, both minuscule and catastrophic, stemming from the fires that have ravaged Los Angeles in the last week. Things get personal as Shotgun also discusses his first trip to the Xfinity Center on the University of Maryland campus where the Women of Troy took down the Terps in a top 10 battle.

Chris and Shotgun then dive into the transfer portal comings and goings, including a long discussion on the offensive line and where the Trojans' depth stands now following the departure of Pregnon and the additions of J'Onre Reed and DJ Wingfield.

After a break, the podcast duo answer your mailbag questions discussing the overall talent level of the current USC roster as well as USC's searches for a linebacker coach and general manager. That leads to a discussion about the addition of inside receivers coach/tight ends coach Chad Savage. There are also questions about the NIL era, where the USC roster is better and worse than last year and where JuJu Watkins stands head and shoulders above others on the basketball court. The Helium Boys also react to the best movie readers saw in 2024.
