Even under the old USC defensive scheme, safeties were vital playmakers for the Trojans. Last season alone, Talanoa Hufanga finished second on the team with 90 tackles, despite missing three games, and Isaiah Pola-Mao finished third with 73 takedowns. But under new defensive coordinator Todd Orlando, safeties like Hufanga and Pola-Mao will take on a new role, one their position coach describes as "the quarterbacks of the defense."

Safeties in the new scheme will be tasked with relaying plays from the sidelines and putting their teammates in the right spots before the snap. It's not the most natural job for players like Hufanga and Pola-Mao, who are known as leaders by example instead of being vocal in the locker room or field. But both are embracing this new role. It's not necessarily new for Hufanga, who actually played quarterback in high school. And both recognize the importance of the job. "On the field, you're going to be vocal. I think that's regardless of being a quiet guy, or a loud guy," Hufanga said. "For me, I think it's going to be the same. I want to lead and help guys, whether I'm in a vocal role or not." - Orange County Register

06/25/20 - Max Tuerk, Sr/2016, Southern California, 6-5, 298 (DS#3 C) + More +

A "paddle out" celebration of life for former USC and NFL lineman Max Tuerk will be held Saturday at 10 a.m. at Salt Creek Beach in Dana Point. Tuerk died last Saturday during a hike with family members in the Cleveland National Forest not far from their home in Trabuco Canyon. He was 26. Autopsy results are pending. Tuerk's parents said they have donated his brain to Boston University's CTE Center. CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, is a neurodegenerative disease found in people who have suffered repeated head trauma. That can be diagnosed only after death. - Los Angeles Times

Max Tuerk, a former center at USC who played for the Chargers for two seasons, has died, USC announced on Sunday. "#FightOnForever, Max Tuerk," the USC athletic department tweeted.

A cause of death was not disclosed, but Tuerk died on Saturday while hiking with his parents in Cleveland National Forest on "a favorite trail", his parents said in a statement released by USC. "Max loved his teammates, coaches and schools," the statement read. "Max was a loving son and older brother and his passing leaves a giant hole in our hearts. His strength and work ethic is an inspiration to many." - Oakland Tribune

06/10/20 - *Reggie Bush, Jr/2006, Southern California, 5-11, 201 (DS#1 RB) + More +

Reggie Bush was the centerpiece of Southern California's last football dynasty. He inspired players to become Trojans and continued to be adored by USC fans while spending a decade in NCAA-mandated exile from the school. USC welcomed back Bush on Wednesday, 10 years to the day the NCAA slammed the program with sanctions that included cutting off official ties to the only Heisman Trophy winner to have his victory vacated. "I've dreamed of this day for 10-plus years, and I'm excited to come home!" Bush said in a statement.

Bush played running back at USC from 2003-05, helping the Trojans to a pair of national championships. Five years after he was gone, Bush and USC were penalized by the NCAA after an investigation determined he and his family received impermissible benefits while he was still in school. USC President Carol Folt wrote in a letter to Bush that all restrictions had been officially removed and he could now "be afforded the privileges and courtesies extended to all Trojan football alums." - AP College Football
