USC honors Reggie Bush ahead of 2026 football season kickoff

As USC prepares for its 2026 football season opener against San Jose State on August 29, the school reflects on the legacy of Reggie Bush. Bush, who played as a running back from 2003 to 2005, is known for his dynamic playstyle and holds records for more than 6,500 all-purpose yards and 42 total touchdowns during his college career. The Trojans achieved a 37-2 record with Bush, winning national championships in 2003 and 2004. Despite a controversial past that led to the vacating of wins and a stripped Heisman Trophy, Bush's legacy has regained some honor, with its disassociation from USC ending in 2020 and his jersey re-retired in 2024. The ongoing discussions around the return of the vacated championships continue as the Trojans approach the new season.
