The 6-foot, 200-pound junior figures to be one of the top picks in Aprils NFL draft and has until Jan. 15 to declare.
Bush, who won the Heisman this season after rushing for 1,658 yards and 15 touchdowns, had said he would wait until after the Rose Bowl on Jan. 4 to make his decision.
USC coach Pete Carroll said he'll address future options with several players next week.
"We're going to meet with the whole team first," he said. "Everybody has to know what's going on. We'll focus on guys who are under consideration. It's not time to make that decision."
