Maiava Leads Trojans Through Change | Los Angeles News

Jayden Maiava is stepping into his leadership role with fire, deepening his bond with Coach Riley and commanding more presence on and off the field, while also hosting a mental health event in Hawaii to uplift youth. With key receivers gone, he’s building chemistry with the current crop through relentless offseason work. The offensive line faces a major shake-up after Kilian O’Connor’s season-ending injury, but the team’s unity is strong, with players like Waymond Jordan bridging gaps. New defensive coordinator Gary Patterson is shaking up the offense with a high-energy, strategic defense that Coach Riley is thrilled about. All eyes are on the Trojans as they prepare for their season opener against San José State — ready to make noise with a revamped defense, new leadership, and a hungry roster.
