The USC Trojans were back on the field for their spring showcase game on Saturday, but they got some bad news earlier in the week.
Head coach Clay Helton confirmed that defensive tackle Brandon Pili suffered a torn Achilles tendon and will miss all of next season.
Helton said Brandon Pili had successful surgery on his Achilles and is doing well. It will be extended rehab for the defensive lineman.

Pili played recorded five tackles during the shortened 2020 campaign, and his loss will affect the Trojans’ defensive line depth.
