With USC football’s 2016 spring camp due to begin next week, it’s time to look forward to preparations for the new season.
USC returns the entire safety unit from 2015 while adding some new faces for the 2016 season, including a new defensive backs coach in Ronnie Bradford.
Spring camp will give Bradford the chance to sort out a crowded field of potential starters.
Safety
Departing (0): N/A
Returning (5): Chris Hawkins, Leon McQuay, John Plattenburg, Ykili Ross, Marvell Tell
Early Enrollees (1): C.J. Pollard
Incoming Freshmen (1): Jamel Cook
On a defense full of inexperience heading into the 2016 season, the safety position actually harbors some of the most experienced players USC has to offer.
