Who are USC football’s most unheralded stars who quietly drive the team forward?
Earlier this week, ESPN decided to declare the “most unheralded” player for each Top 25. For USC football, they went with Jay Tufele.
Respectfully, ESPN is probably looking at the Trojans the wrong way.
Listen, Tufele could become more of a national name than he currently is, but he’s been touted in multiple first-round mock drafts for 2021. He was also an All-Pac-12 first-team selection for 2019. He might be the most recognizable player on USC’s defense.
