VULNERABLE: USC Cornerbacks Must Defend Against Criticism—Can Marcelles Williams Emerge?

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 10:00:00 GMT

USC's cornerbacks face a season-defining spotlight as injuries and fierce competition threaten their starting spots. Can Marcelles Williams cement his role as a boundary corner, or will highly-touted newcomers RJ Sermons and Elbert "Rock" Hill break through? Marc Kulkin examines the physicality, coverage skills, and potential vulnerabilities of USC’s top cornerbacks, revealing which young talents are poised to disrupt the rotation and why ball production remains a pressing concern.

Key discussion points include standout spring performances, why Lincoln Riley and Chad Bowden doubled down on the transfer portal for veteran depth, and how matchups against dynamic Big Ten receivers like Oregon’s Evan Stewart and Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith will test USC’s rebuilt secondary. The episode also previews the quarterbacks and receivers most likely to challenge the Trojans, setting the stage for a season where every snap could determine USC’s defensive identity. Will experience or youth lead the way in the Coliseum?

NFL Draft preview and ranking USC football position group expectations

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 04:09:00 GMT

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and intern India Otto are back in studio discussing this weekend's huge NFL Draft and the top-rated USC prospects that are hoping to hear their name called. They also take a crack at ranking each of the Trojan football position groups by level of expectations heading into the season following what we learned about the team in the spring.

Kicking things off with our draft coverage, all eyes will be on wide receiver Makai Lemon will is expected to go in the top-half of the first round, likely as the second or third wide receiver off the board. Lemon will very likely be USC's only first round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and could be the only Trojan picks in the first two days of the draft. Safeties Kamari Ramsey and Bishop Fitzgerald, wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane, tight end Lake McRee and linebacker Eric Gentry are other former USC players that are the most likely to get picked up in the later rounds.

They finish off the show talking about the 2026 bowl tie-ins sticking with the old conference alignment (Pac-12) and answering listener questions from our live chat, emails and The Peristyle message board.

BREAKOUT: Why Christian Pierce Needs To Dominate The Safety Position For USC Football In 2026

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 10:00:00 GMT

The Trojans defense place their hopes on rising safety Christian Pierce as Gary Patterson’s defense enters a pivotal season. Can Pierce’s size, physicality, and run support spark the transformation USC needs, or will questions about his coverage skills and instincts leave the Trojans exposed? Key position battles intensify with Kennedy Urlacher and Alex Graham rounding out the starting trio, while young talents like Marquis Gallegos and Isaiah Rubin wait in the wings.

Marc Kulkin spotlights USC’s safety group’s evolving responsibilities, transfer portal strategies, and insights from assistant coaches Paul Gonzales and Gary Patterson on faster communication and scheme mastery. Listener questions probe Desman Stevens’ starting status and the accountability of head coach Lincoln Riley amid recent coaching changes. As non-conference games approach, all eyes are on the depth chart and whether the Trojans’ defense can deliver under pressure. Is USC primed for a defensive resurgence, or are growing pains ahead?

Dedeaux Download: Pitching coach Sean Allen talks bouncing back after tough weekend

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 05:23:00 GMT

The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down USC baseball's second four-game losing streak in the last three weeks after the Trojans were swept at Nebraska following a disappointing midweek loss at Long Beach State. They also talk with USC pitching coach Sean Allen and look at what USC needs to do to bounce back with a trip to Cal State Fullerton Tuesday and a weekend series against Purdue coming up.

In the first half of the show, Allen talks about the Trojans beating themselves in a road sweep at Nebraska and what they have to do to get back on track. The pitching coach also discusses why USC has struggled on the road where the Trojans are now 8-10 this season.

Allen also chats about what Mason Edwards continues to do so well, the mechanical issues Grant Govel was fighting, the return of Rohan Kasanagottu, the development of Ben Cushnie and the timing of a potential injury return by Michael Ebner and Matthew Morrell.

After a break, Shotgun and Kasey take a look at the Trojans' four-game losing streak, including continued road woes, and discuss how USC must return to being the hunter rather than the hunted now that they have slipped to No. 23 in the rankings. Shotgun also discusses whether USC's hosting chances are officially over.

Shotgun and Kasey close out the show taking a look at where the Trojans' stand in the rankings and statistical categories, including a concerning offensive statistic and why Andrew Lamb could be due for a breakout. Finally, the podcasting duo preview a big upcoming week with another road midweek game and a series against a Purdue squad that is ahead of USC in the Big Ten standings.

USC's Best Case Scenario: Desman Stephens Is The Key To The Defense

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 10:00:00 GMT

USC's’ linebacker battle heats up as Desman Stephens emerges as the potential anchor for a revitalized defense. Could Stephens’ experience and new guidance under Coach Mike Ekeler transform USC’s middle linebacker spot from a question mark into the team's biggest strength? Marc Kulkin and Marvin Powell III, break down how Ekeler’s energetic coaching style and track record of sending linebackers to the NFL could elevate Desman's game—and the defense as a whole—as USC gears up for the 2026 season.

Key discussion points include the depth behind Stephens, with names like Deven Bryant, Talanoa Eli, and promising freshmen Shaun Scott and Taylor Johnson vying for playing time. The episode investigates the competition at every linebacker spot, the lasting impact of coaching changes, the importance of building a strong defensive core, and how recruiting efforts and player development will shape the Trojans’ Big Ten future. Will the Trojans finally restore dominance at linebacker and attract elite talent with a renewed defensive identity?

Yesterday, I dropped my USC Trojans offensive depth chart projection. Today, let’s take a look at the defense.

Some key players missed all of spring camp, including three projected starters in safety Christian Pierce and corners Jontez Williams and Chasen Johnson. Did these players get passed over, or will they still start in the fall?

Let’s take a look.

We kick things off by welcoming Crashlit as the newest co-host and diving into his unique journey as a well-known USC superfan and brand creator. From there, the conversation shifts into a full recap of USC sports, including football, men’s and women’s basketball, and standout spring sports like baseball.

A major focus of this episode is USC women’s basketball and their championship potential heading into next season. The crew discusses the impact of Juju Watkins’ return, Jazzy Davidson’s leadership, and how incoming recruits could elevate the team into a true title contender. We also break down key transfer portal departures and what they mean for the roster moving forward.

On the football side, we discuss spring training, new recruits, and areas where the team needs to improve to meet rising expectations. Plus, we highlight underrated players across USC athletics and reflect on key moments from the past season.

With high expectations across multiple programs, the big question remains: is USC heading toward a championship-caliber year?

USC Trojans Offensive Depth Chart Projection Post Spring Camp

LAFB Network — Sat, 18 Apr 2026 22:36:41 GMT

The USC Trojans wrapped up their Spring Camp a few weeks ago. While not every incoming freshman was in attendance (32/35 were there), and a few returning starters missed the entirety of camp due to injury, I was able to get some clarity on what the Fall depth chart could look like.

Let’s take a look and do our best to predict the 2-deep for the offense.

LAFB Network — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 22:50:45 GMT

Moments after 4-star EDGE Mekai Brown committed to the USC Trojans, the USC social team dropped a hype video that was a spinoff of an older Notre Dame video, and took shots at the Fighting Irish, Oregon, and even UCLA.

I talk about why these videos are FANTASTIC for College Football and the USC Trojans.

The USC Trojans Are Winning The NIL Era, And NOT By Outspending Other Top Programs

LAFB Network — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 19:07:36 GMT

Mekai Brown is the latest elite recruit to commit to the USC Trojans. Since Chad Bowden became the GM, and Lincoln Riley and Jennifer Cohen built one of the best front offices in college football, the Trojans have been cleaning up in the recruiting department.

Virtually every player they have gone all-in on, they have gotten a commitment from. Contrary to popular belief, they aren't spending the most.

So how are they doing it?

BIG 10 SQUAD: The Big 10's Latest SCANDAL | How this impacts USC

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT

NCAA sanctions shake up Iowa Hawkeyes football as eight wins are vacated for tampering with quarterback Cade McNamara—was it worth the fallout? The Locked On Big Ten Squad debates whether the NCAA's focus is misplaced, questioning the penalty’s impact, and suggesting the NCAA targets smaller programs while avoiding powerhouses. Lively banter covers Kirk Ferentz’s legacy, Iowa’s ongoing quarterback development woes, and frustrations with inconsistent NCAA enforcement. Wisconsin Badgers face chaos after the sudden departure of athletic director Chris McIntosh, leaving major leadership gaps ahead of the new season. The Big 10 Squad weighs in on Wisconsin’s struggles to adapt in the NIL era and whether Luke Fickell’s job is on the line. The episode also spotlights shifting approaches to spring games, with limited action from stars like Michigan’s Bryce Underwood and Penn State scrapping their scrimmage entirely.
