USC defensive lineman Isaiah Raikes officially re-entered the NCAA Transfer Portal on Friday evening, On3’s Pete Nakos has learned. He originally began his college football career with the Texas A&M Aggies, before hitting the portal. He had just committed to the USC Trojans in January of 2024.
Raikes just finished up his senior season for the Aggies before entering the portal. This past year, he totaled 17 tackles along with three tackles for loss and a sack in 12 appearances — including a start against South Carolina.
He has appeared in 42 career games, so he’ll offer whatever team he joins plenty of experience.
On the whole, Raikes had 43 total tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks across his four seasons of action. He also finished with a pass defended and a forced fumble in 2023, and he’s now the latest Texas A&M player to enter the portal after the departure of Jimbo Fisher.
Isaiah Raikes played high school football at St. Augustine Prep (NJ), where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 392 overall recruit in the 2020 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
