🔼 Top Dog. The Trojan with a big leg received status as a First Team All-American after a big year with USC. Eddie Czaplicki, USC’s senior punter, is the program’s second-ever punter to earn First-Team All-American status. Czaplicki, a Ray Guy Award finalist, is the best punter in the nation. He was selected to the All-Big Ten First Team and the AP All-Big Ten First Team and was named the Big Ten Eddleman-Fields Punter of the Year.

🔼 An Honor and A Pleasure. The United Soccer Coaches announced their 2024 All-America teams this week and three USC women's soccer standouts received the honor. Brooklyn Courtnall and Helena Sampaio were named to the first team and Maile Hayes was named to the third team. In a season full of firsts, Courtnall and Sampaio's inclusion on the first team marks the first time in program history that two USC players have earned first-team honors in the same season. The two first-team nods give USC a total of 10 First-Team All-Americans in its history.

🔼 Slate Is Set. Fresh off the 2024 regular season, USC football learned its conference schedule for its 2025 campaign. The Trojans will face off against Michigan State, Michigan, Northwestern, Iowa and UCLA inside the Coliseum and will hit the road to face off against Purdue, Illinois, Notre Dame, Nebraska and Oregon.
