Peristyle Podcast - Usc Trojan Football Discussion

In this special edition of Tunnel Vision hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka Triple Double) are back in studio and joined remotely by new USC linebacker Desman Stephens. Thanks to House of Victory, the 6-foot-3, 232 pound linebacker out of Clarkston, Michigan, had a lengthy interview with our hosts, talking about his journey from the Midwest to Los Angeles, the progress he made during his freshman campaign, playing along side Eric Gentry, learning under Matt Entz last year and Rob Ryan this year and how he thinks this defense can improve in 2025. Last season Stephens played in all 13 games for the Trojans, picking up 13 tackles (8 solo, 5 assisted), including 1 tackle for a loss of 1 yard, 1 forced fumble, 1 interception returned for 42 yards and a quarterback hurry. The interview with Stephens was conducted in conjunction with House of Victory, an alumni-backed nonprofit collective dedicated to providing a competitive edge in the NIL space for University of Southern California student-athletes.
