New USC defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast wants his defense living in the opponent's backfield, collecting tackles-for-loss and harassing enemy quarterbacks. The edge rushers are expected to lead the charge, starting with versatile junior Uchenna Nwosu and returning sack leader sophomore Porter Gustin.
Jabari Ruffin is the veteran of the group, entering his fifth season, while redshirt freshman John Houston Jr. and true freshman Oluwole Betiku benefited from spring football. More help arrives in the fall, including highly touted pass rusher Connor Murphy from Arizona.
