On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back breaking down how the former Trojan football players fared in the 2023 NFL Draft. Day one of the draft was an exciting one for sure with three quarterbacks selected in the first four picks and two running backs going before the first wide receiver was selected. At pick No. 20 Seattle selected Ohio State wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, starting a historic 4-pick run of wide receivers that included Minnesota snagging USC wide receiver Jordan Addison with the 23rd pick. With the selection of Addison, USC has had a first-round pick in the last four drafts and in six of the last seven years. This is the 22nd consecutive year -- the longest active streak for any college -- a Trojan has been selected in the top three rounds. On the second day of the draft two more former USC football players came off the board.

In this edition of the Dedeaux Download podcast, part of the Peristyle Podcast family of shows, Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith break down USC baseball's big series win in the Crosstown Showdown against a ranked UCLA team, which featured Cole Gabrielson hitting a ball over the right fielder for a walk-off winner in the bottom of the ninth inning.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are back in studio LIVE talking about the huge news for the Trojans that broke over the weekend with former five-star defensive tackle Bear Alexander announcing that he will become a Trojan. Coming off a national championship season at Georgia, Alexander recently entered the NCAA Transfer Portal and from the jump USC was one of the top schools he was considering. On Sunday Trojan football fans got the good news that the next stop for Bear would be Los Angeles, helping to bolster a position of need for head coach Lincoln Riley and defensive coordinator Alex Grinch. Alexander took an official visit to USC and apparently that was enough to convince the 6-foot-3, 315 pound defensive lineman to become a Trojan. He is the No. 12 player in the portal and the No. 1 defensive lineman according to 247Sports transfer rankings. He is also the fourth defensive lineman added to the roster this off-season, following Anthony Lucas (Texas A&M), Kyon

On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back breaking down what they saw and heard at the USC spring game Saturday in the Coliseum. Both Ryan and Coach Hyde were there taking it all in and they give their biggest takeaways from the game and how this Trojan football team improved during the last six week of spring ball. Starting out with the environment in the Coliseum, Hyde was impressed by the 25,000+ fans that showed up. Everyone was seated on the press box side of the Coliseum and they turned the Pac-12 Network cameras to the far side of the stadium to shoot the side where the crowd was. In order to do that, they also turned around the USC logo at midfield so it was upside down for everyone in the stands. Hyde liked how the halftime Caleb Williams Heisman Trophy presentation went, but he would have loved to have seen something about Reggie Bush getting his Heisman back with the chairman of the Heisman Trust there on the field.  Speaking of Williams, he had not

Sunday night Tunnel Vision is back with USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, Chris Trevino and Jack Smith in studio breaking down the USC spring game and spring practice overall as the Trojan football team heads into the long off-season. The guys were in the Coliseum for the Saturday scrimmage that featured the defense defeating the offense 42-34 in a modified scoring system. The game was broadcast live on the Pac-12 Network and featured two 15 minute halves with live tackling and a focus on younger players. Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams started the game off with a 3-play, 75 yard touchdown drive and then never entered the game again. After a slow start the defense did bounce back, forcing several turnovers and generating a lot of quarterback pressure to help secure the win. The run game was a bright spot for the Trojan offense, featuring big plays by all of the backs including the two freshmen, Quinten Joyner and A'Marion Peterson, who both scored in the game. The guys talk about all of the players that st

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are back in studio LIVE talking about the major breaking news this week, with USC head coach Lincoln Riley adding former Arizona Cardinals and Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury to the support staff.

Riley talked about how difficult it is, both physically and mentally, for players to try and master two different positions in college, but said Brown was doing a nice job with it.
