Poyer's Rise: USC LB Future | USC Trojans Football News

USC’s linebacker future just got a major upgrade with the commitment of Josiah Poyer, a standout senior from St. John Bosco who dominated in his last game with 14 tackles, 2 TFLs, and multiple QB hurries. Fast, instinctive, and physical, Poyer’s tape shows he’s got elite ball-hawking instincts and the motor to make plays — even if he occasionally overcommits. With over 100 career tackles and a strong build, he’s primed to step in immediately as USC rebuilds its linebacker corps, joining fellow 2027 commit Talanoa Ili and veterans like Deven Bryant in a fierce battle for starting roles. This is one position to watch closely — the Trojans’ defense could be reshaped by these young stars. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
