  As the USC defense gathered on the sideline to prepare for the scrimmage at the Coliseum on Saturday, safety Chase Williams was in the middle of the huddle, barking encouragement to his teammates. It was all unprintable, both out of respect for a player delivering private remarks to his team and due to the language involved. But it was another sign of the leadership role that Williams has taken in his fourth season at USC. "I'm really just doing my best to spread energy and get everybody hyped up, get everybody locked in," Williams said after Wednesday's practice. "so I think us being in the circle, that's just a time when we can bring that upon our teammates and our brothers."

Williams has been a seldom-used reserve in his time at USC. Playing behind Talanoa Hufanga (now of the San Francisco 49ers) and Isaiah Pola-Mao, Williams had to bide his time. In 2020, all four of his tackles in the season came in one game. But after Hufanga's departure to the NFL, Williams has established himself as Pola-Mao's new running mate, both as a starter at safety and a leader in the locker room. "When those guys speak, it's almost more powerful than when coaches speak because they actually have been around these guys for longer than we have," defensive coordinator Todd Orlando said. "(Williams has) grown so much from when I first got here. I think he was just kind of feeling himself. But I think he understands what we're all about." - Orange County Register
