“I wouldn’t be where I am today without the Trojan Family and I’m so appreciative. And of course, Fight On!”

THE EXPERTISE TO HELP YOU SUCCEED

“I’m new around here, so allow me to introduce myself. I have a chip on my shoulder and I play with something to prove. I’ve always been one of the smallest guys on any team, even back to when I was a kid. But I’ve also always been the most ferocious guy on any team. I’m willing to compete against anybody. And if anyone wants to line up against me, it’s going to be a long day for him.

I want to go against the best and be the best, and honestly that’s why I’m here. 

My name is Waymond Jordan: The Junkyard Dog.”

Transfer running back Waymond Jordan might be new to USC, but you’re going to want to remember his name. Last season in JUCO at Hutchinson CC, he led his team to the National Championship and he took home The JUCO Weekly Award for the nation’s top player. Now a new chapter is starting and he’s fired up and ready to work.

Football and Women’s Basketball athletes joined forces with American Cancer Society at USC to help spread awareness and education, create their own Luminaria Bags in honor of those affected by cancer and participate in a day of fun festivities at their Relay for Life event. Here’s to Fighting On no matter the challenges! Check out more photos from this special event here.

In case you missed it, earlier this month nearly two dozen Football athletes spent the day supporting kids with physical disabilities at Angel City Sports’ Youth Weekend. Throughout the day, House of Victory athletes helped the participants as they participated in adaptive sports and got in on the fun themselves trying a variety of new activities including wheelchair basketball, para-track and more! Check out a full recap from the day here.

INVESTING IN THE FUTURE

Across USC’s spring sports, several teams are hitting their stride and putting the nation on notice at the right time. Check out highlights from around Heritage Hall:

Baseball: The Trojans are one of the hottest teams in the Big Ten, and across the country heading into a weekend series against UCLA. Currently third in the conference, the Dedeaux Boys look to keep several impressive streaks alive in the rivalry series including having won seven games in a row and seven series in a row. The series begins tonight!

Beach Volleyball: Four-time defending National Champions USC take the sand at Gulf Shores to begin their title defense today when the NCAA Championship gets underway. This week, House of Victory athlete Zoey Henson was named a First-Team All-American alongside teammate Maddy White. Let’s go girls!
