SITTING DOWN WITH A TROJAN ALL-AMERICAN
All-American. Leader. Trojan through and through. These are all adjectives that describe redshirt sophomore offensive lineman Elijah Paige. Coming off of an incredibly successful freshman season in which Elijah earned Freshman All-American and All-Big Ten Honorable Mention honors, he’s not slowing down and already prepping for another big season.
House of Victory chatted with him to get the inside scoop on how it's going and what his mindset is heading into the season. It's hard not to root for Elijah, and after reading this Q&A it will be impossible for Trojan fans.

HELPING CLOSE THE HUNGER GAP
Over the summer months, Los Angeles Regional Food Bank sees fewer volunteers, but the demand for LARFB’s services actually increases. To help close this gap, House of Victory partnered with LARFB and Football athletes visited a local LARFB warehouse to provide support. During the month of July, 21 Football athletes sorted and packed nearly 34,000 pounds of fresh produce that went directly to local families facing food insecurity. That’s A LOT of veggies!
