During our recent broadcast, which lasted over an hour, we delved into various topics, including the status of the 2024 offensive line, a subject of enduring importance for USC fans. This discussion naturally led to addressing USC’s ongoing needs in bolstering their offensive line. With the spring transfer portal window opening on April 16, USC has an opportunity to acquire additional high-quality linemen to enhance depth, a deficiency observed in the 2023 offensive line. The aim is to ensure that injuries, such as the one suffered by Gino Quinones last season, do not significantly weaken the unit and limit USC’s options. Coach Josh Henson requires more viable options to adjust the line when faced with attrition.
Recruiting is another crucial aspect, particularly concerning the recruitment of five-star offensive linemen, a challenge USC has faced consistently during the Clay Helton era. Matt Zemek emphasized the necessity of securing top-tier offensive line prospects if USC aims to reclaim its dominance in college football.
