USC is preparing for its 2026 football season, beginning on August 29 against San Jose State. Today, the program highlights former offensive lineman Brett Neilon, a four-year starter who earned All-American honors in 2022. Neilon is remembered for a critical fourth-down play in 2022 against Oregon State, where he assisted quarterback Caleb Williams to secure a first down, leading to a game-winning touchdown. After sustaining a leg injury in the Pac-12 Championship, Neilon's tenure at USC ended, and he briefly joined the Kansas City Chiefs as a rookie. Currently, he works as a senior business analyst.
