Saturday marks the Fourth of July. 250 years ago, the founders of our country signed the Declaration of Independence, marking the birth of the United States of America. In honor of our county’s birthday, let’s take a look at some fun facts about USC All-Americans.
USC football has produced 179 first-team All-Americans in program history. The most recent Trojans to earn such honors were wide receiver Makai Lemon and safety Bishop Fitzgerald last season.
USC’s first All-American was offensive guard Brice Taylor all the way back in 1925. Last year marked the 100th anniversary of Taylor’s All-American season.
Of the Trojans’ All-Americans, 86 have been Consensus All-American selections—having been voted a first-team All-American by at least three of the five major selectors. This ranks fifth among all schools, behind only Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan, and Alabama.
Between 1962 and 1990, USC produced at least one first-team All-American in every season. In addition, from 1972 through 1987, the Trojans had at least one Consensus All-American every year.
