In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio chatting with sophomore defensive end Braylan Shelby.

Ryan and Connor chat with Shelby about his experience playing as a true freshman, his gains during the off-season, working in the new D'Anton Lynn defense, how fall camp is doing and lots more.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back to recap the first two weeks of USC fall camp 2024, with the team utilizing a new and improved Howard Jones Field featuring a full 100-yard turf field that showcased most of the action. Much of the focus has been on new defensive coordinator D'Anton Lynn and the new-look defense to see if significant improvement can be made over the disastrous performances of the past two seasons. Heading into the Big Ten, USC needs to step up the physicality to compete on a weekly basis and that starts with the defensive front seven.
