USC football DE gives opinion on new DC

The USC football team finished the regular season with a disappointing 7-5 record, and the main issues the Trojans had were on defense. Because of that, Lincoln Riley made a smart move and fired defensive coordinator Alex Grinch after a 52-42 loss against Washington late in the season. The Trojans recently made their new DC hire, and it is D’Anton Lynn, who is coming over from UCLA.

D’Anton Lynn hasn’t been with the program for very long, but he is already getting to meet everyone, and he is making a good impression so far. USC football defensive end Jamil Muhammad is excited about the new hire.

“I was excited to meet him,” Jamil Muhammad said, according to an article from On3. “Obviously, I did my research on him as soon as I heard about it. I mean, I didn’t have to do too much research, we just got done playing them. Obviously, their defensive statistics and players they have in their defense speaks for itself. So, we’re excited to have him — me, coaches, the rest of my teammates. So we’re just excited to get to work. They were our last game, so you guys know what they can do — all year, honestly. I’m excited to learn from him and learn what he asks for from the defense.”

So far, everyone around the USC program has had good things to say about Lynn. It seems like it was a good hire, and it’ll be exciting to see what he can do with this defense.
