As Fall Camp begins, the Trojans are sporting their deepest roster in years, having mostly recovered from the hit of NCAA sanctions. USC got an additional boost from two blueshirts, grad transfer DT Stevie Tu'ikolovatu and freshman PK Michael Brown, whose scholarships will count towards next year's class.
DT Stevie Tu'ikolovatu (6-foot-1 and 341 pounds)
Adding depth to the Trojans' front seven will be senior DT Stevie Tu'ikolovatu, a graduate transfer from Utah who is immediately eligible to play. The Salt Lake City native had 28 tackles, 6 tackles for loss, 2 sacks and 4 fumble recoveries -- the most in the Pac-12 -- for the Utes in 2015.
PK Michael Brown (6-foot and 191 pounds)
Michael Brown will step in and compete for the starting placekicker job in 2016 following the departure of Alex Wood. Brown earned Cal-Hi Sports All-State Small Schools first team, Max Preps All-State Small Schools first team and All-CIF Northwest Division honors as a senior at Linfield Christian School in Temecula in 2015.
