In addition to roster updates and new jersey numbers, USC Football’s Spring Camp media guide carried some unfortunate news for a pair of Trojans who will miss significant time due to injury.
The big news from the media guide concerns outside linebacker Oluwole Betiku, who has undergone hip surgery and will miss spring practice as a result.
Betiku was pulled from practice in the lead up to the Cotton Bowl in December with a groin problem, but this is the first hint of a hip issue for the junior linebacker.
USC Football Injury Report:
- Out for spring: RB Stephen Carr (back), LB Oluwole Betiku (hip)
The injury layoff is particularly unfortunate because Betiku would have had a major opportunity to battle at the strongside linebacker position.
