LOS ANGELES — Following the 2021 season, USC offensive lineman Andrew Vorhees had a decision to make about his future. Even after a 4-8 season, Vorhees had shown his worth at both guard and tackle, earning third-team All-American honors from The Associated Press.
“It was evident to me the culture change that Coach Riley was going to bring,” Vorhees said. “I really saw that he was committed to this university and this team and to winning and I knew that that was what it was going to be about and I bought into that.” “I like our group,” Riley said Tuesday. “Experience is a tough thing to beat up there, and we’ve got a couple of guys … that are really good players that I think have picked up our stuff very fast.”
“You kinda build some habits and then you do something and Henson’s like, ‘Hey, why don’t you try this,’” Neilon said. “He’s not like you have to do it this way or you’re wrong-type thing, it’s been great and it just feels like we’re building off a better year where we improved.”
