USC Sports Talk wishes Brian "Juice Williams is gonna DIE!" Cushing the best of luck as he prepares for the NFL Draft.

Get an all-access look at USC LB Brian Cushing as he preps for the Under Armour Senior Bowl.

I love this shot of Rey, Fili, Cush, and Clay

USC- "Linebacker U"

That is what the Worldwide Leader in Sports has coined the USC program which has 3 senior linebackers dominating the Senior Bowl practices. Rey Maualuga, Brian Cushing, and Clay Matthews are attempting to cap off their amazing senior seasons with strong performances in this year's Senior Bowl in front of hundreds of NFL scouts, coaches and GMs. Todd McShay says that the Trojans could see its 3 linebackers taken in the top 40 picks of this year's NFL draft. Excluded from the Linebacker U talk is USC's other senior linebacker, and this year's Rose Bowl defensive MVP, Kaluka Maiava. With QB Mark Sanchez expected to be taken at the top of the draft as well I think the phrase NFL-U may be more appropriate.



Fight on!
