Since 2006, USC has started 8, 6, 7, 5, 6, 6, 3, 5, 4, 6, 6, 5, 6, 3, and 4 white players. In 2021, they project to start 4.
I really expected this team to have more nuance for some reason as far as white players with potential. Perhaps I was deluded by old memories of Clay Matthews and Brian Cushing. I did notice that there are a whole lot of Polynesian players, and I noticed that many of the black players tend to have very suburban, white-sounding first names (Darwin, Kohl, Korey, Julien, Spencer, Micah, Hunter, etc). This seemed like something Steve Sailer would notice.
Head coach Clay Helton has escaped the hot seat for the time being but really does not have an experienced roster to lean on. His offensive coordinator is 35 yr old Graham Harrell, who audiences may remember from his success at Texas Tech 15 years ago.
Junior QB Kedon Slovis is the star of this act and will be responsible for holding up the Trojan house of cards. He has lost some luster after a breakthrough freshman season but could still potentially declare early for the draft if he puts up enough game film. Behind him are two true freshmen, Jaxson Dart and Miller Moss.
At tight end, redshirt sophomore Jude Wolf will try to cut into senior Erik Krommenhoek's snap count. Ethan Rae and Lake McCree wait in the wings.
USC will probably start just one white offensive lineman in Andrew Voorhees, who has 25 career starts at guard. Jonah Monheim will compete to play at right tackle. Justin Dedich could also win a spot somewhere on the starting line.
Defensive end Nick Figueroa had seven tackles for loss in last year's six-game season. He will look to improve upon last year's all-conference honorable mention. The only other white scholarship player on defense (that I'm aware of) plays the same strongside end position.
