Jide Abasiri is becoming USC’s disruptive interior anchor
In the 2025 season, Jide Abasiri took a real leap for USC, starting nine games and posting 26 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, 2 QB hurries, and a forced fumble, with USC listing him at 6-foot-5 and 280 pounds for 2026.[5][10] He’s gaining notice as a leader in the defensive line room, and reports highlight his position flexibility and growing voice as signs of a player who brings more than just box-score production.[8][11] If you want a long, athletic DT with interior disruption upside and leadership juice, he’s a strong fit.
