Kobe Pepe brings veteran depth and power inside for USC
Kobe Pepe is a seasoned USC defensive tackle who has shown dependable rotational value, finishing the 2024 season with 19 tackles and a pass breakup while appearing in all 13 games. His calling card is power: EA SPORTS College Football 26 lists him at 6'2" with 86 strength, and USC notes he’ll compete for playing time again in 2025 after earning coaches’ trust through steady camp work and offseason physical development. He is a fit for teams wanting a sturdy interior presence who can hold ground, absorb contact, and provide experienced depth rather than flashy sack production.
