🔼 Twice As Nice. Shocker! USC has a knack for producing the best wide receivers in the nation, and we’re seeing it again with the announcement of the position group’s top award. A pair of Trojan wide receivers were officially named to the Biletnikoff Award watch list - an award that goes to college football’s most outstanding FBS receiver.
🏈 Tahj Washington returns to the lineup as one of USC’s most explosive offensive players. The wideout finished last season with 785 yards and six touchdowns as the second option behind now pro, Jordan Addison. Washington will look to have another solid season after being named to last year’s Biletnikoff Midseason watch list.
🏈 Dorian Singer, the spring transfer from Arizona, made 11 starts last season and racked up 1,105 yards on 66 receptions. He hauled in six touch downs on the year as well. The 2022 All-Pac-12 First Team member will look to capitalize on last season’s success.
🔼 Playing in Paradise. The Women of Troy will begin their basketball season in paradise with the Baha Mar Pink Flamingo Championship all set and ready to go. The team will square off against Seton Hall on November 20th.
🔼 Golf On. Four Trojan golfers headed off to compete in the 123rd U.S. Women’s Amateur, and so far, things have been going well for the 2022 Pac-12 Champs.
⛳️ Malia Nam is sitting pretty after yesterday’s round saw her climb to a tie for eighth place after shooting a one-under round.
⛳️ Amari Avery finished the day even par, and through two days, has shot back-to-back 70s.
⛳️ Brianna Navarrosa made a comeback up the leaderboard after firing a two-under par round to bring her in the top-40 players.
⛳️ Bailey Shoemaker had similar success and shot a one-under round to bring her to a tie for 46th.
🔼 Updates from Greece. USC men’s basketball is living their best lives over in Greece as they journey through their 10-day summer tour. With stops in Athens, Mykonos, and Dubrovnik, the team will also play in three exhibition games during their time overseas.

⚔️ ONE BIG THING
The 2022 Davey O’Brien Award winner is up for a repeat after being named to the award’s watch list for this season.
Headlining a group of 35 quarterbacks, the reigning Heisman winner will look to defend is long list of awards from last season’s success. The road to become the nation’s best quarterback is a long one, but it isn’t anything Caleb Williams hasn’t seen, or done, before.
