However, center was a cursed position for the Trojans in 2015, forcing USC to the fourth level of its depth chart for some of the season's most important games. Lobendahn fell prey to the injury bug, tearing up his knee in the win over Utah.

Currently on the comeback trail, Lobendahn hopes to be fully healthy when Fall Camp opens in August. He has already proven his immense value to the Trojans over his first two seasons, starting at center, guard and tackle.
