There have been scores of All-Americans in USC football history, ranging from one-handed Brice Taylor to three-way Adoree’ Jackson. But the list of legendary Trojans doesn’t stop there.
A large number of USC greats were denied national recognition of their accomplishments, including some truly surprising stars.
Here is a look at the greatest Trojans who don’t appear on USC’s All-American Wall:
QB Matt Barkley (2009-2012)
As far as careers go, Matt Barkley produced about as much as he could for USC without ever officially earning an All-American nod.
He was the nation’s No. 1 recruit coming out of high school and lived up to that moniker right away by winning USC’s starting quarterback job ahead of the 2009 season.
