๐ Offensive lineman Jeff Bregel was nominated for a potential spot in the Hall of Fame. Bregel was a two-time All-Pac-10 selection and leader of the 1984 conference title-winning team.
๐ Defensive back Mark Carrier was added to the ballot for a spot in the Class of 2025. Carrier was a two-time First Team All-American from 1988-89 and won the Jim Thorpe Award as the nationโs top defensive back in 1989.
๐ Defensive back Dennis Thurman wrapped up the Trojan trio of nominees on the 2025 ballot. Thurman was a two-time First Team All-American who led the Trojans to four consecutive postseason wins, including the 1974 National Championship at the Rose Bowl.
