Building My Ideal USC Depth Chart (Defense) | Some of Them May Surprise You

Who should start on defense for USC in 2026? In this video, I build my ideal USC Football defensive depth chart from top to bottom and make my picks for every major position battle.

I break down the biggest questions facing the Trojans' defense heading into the 2026 season, including the defensive line, linebacker rotation, safety spots, cornerback competition, and which young players could emerge as major contributors.

Who makes my starting 11? Which players just miss the cut? And are there any surprises on my depth chart?

Let me know your ideal USC defensive depth chart in the comments!
