Southern California offensive lineman DJ Wingfield is hiring an attorney to contest his eligibility for the 2025 season, On3 reported Thursday.
Wingfield transferred from Purdue to USC after the 2024 season, believing he could play one more season due to an NCAA waiver for players with at least one season at a non-NCAA program. He has been unable to secure that waiver, per the report.
The 6-foot-4, 320-pound lineman began his career at El Camino Junior College, playing 22 games there from 2020-21 before competing at New Mexico (2022-23) and Purdue. His 2022 campaign ended with an injury in the season opener. He started all 12 games at right guard for the Boilermakers.
Wingfield is hiring attorney Darren Heitner and is expected to file a lawsuit for an injunction that would allow him to play this fall, per On3.
Wingfield originally declared for the 2025 NFL Draft before entering the portal and committing to the Trojans in January.
