Early years

On July 31, 2012, Redd announced he would transfer to USC in the wake of NCAA sanctions levied against the Nittany Lions football program that gave players an opportunity to transfer to another major program without sitting out a year. [8] Redd practiced with the Trojans for the first time on August 6.[9] He finished his first year with 905 rushing yards and nine touchdowns.

Redd announced he intended to remain at USC for his senior season.[10] He played in six games, rushing for 376 yards with one touchdown.

Washington Redskins

Redd was signed by the Washington Redskins on May 10, 2014 as an undrafted free agent.[12][13] Despite being undrafted, Redd made the Redskins' final 53-man roster on August 30 beating out Evan Royster, Lache Seastrunk, and Chris Thompson for the third-string running back spot.[14] In the 41-10 win in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, he recorded his first career touchdown.[15]

Redd tore his right ACL and MCL in the first 2015 preseason game against the Cleveland Browns.[16] On August 16, 2015, he was waived/injured.[17] After going unclaimed, he was placed on injured reserve.[18] On November 18, 2015, it was announced that the league would be suspending him for four games for violating the substance-abuse policy.[19] Due to Redd being already on injured reserve, he would only lose four paychecks. On April 12, 2016, it was reported that Redd was suspended indefinitely for violating the substance-abuse policy.[20]
