Co-hosts Michael Castillo and Alicia de Artola have a new Reign of Troy Radio episode ready for your listening pleasure.

This week, the USC football junkies talk about a pair of marquee defensive line decommitments from the 2025 recruiting class. The hosts also engage in a deep discussion regarding the Trojans' current NIL philosophy and recruiting strategy.

Why does USC continue dedicating time and resources to recruit players on the other side of the country with strong SEC ties? Also, is the programs' NIL program as strong we're led to believe? Saddle up and give the episode a listen.

Don't miss another 'Big Ten minute'

Michael and Alicia discuss another new and regular USC opponent in the Big Ten minute. This week, the focus is on the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Just how good are the Huskers ahead of the 2024 season? Are they a threat to Trojans in the 2024 regular season?

The Trojans will host Nebraska at the LA Memorial Coliseum on November 16. USC is also slated to travel to Lincoln in 2026. The Trojans and Huskers have clashed on the gridiron four times throughout history with USC owning a 3-0-1 record. Their last meeting was 45-42 Trojans' win in the 2014 Holiday Bowl.
