Shaun Scott brings hybrid linebacker upside to USC’s 2026 front seven
A true freshman in the 2026 season, Shaun Scott arrived at USC early and is competing for linebacker snaps with legit hybrid upside: he’s built like an enforcer at 6-3, 240, and USC views him as a stack backer who can also rush the passer on passing downs. He was a four-star recruit and ranked No. 177 nationally by ESPN, with a high-upside profile shaped by his pass-rush background and physical, hit-anything-that-moves style. If you want speed, toughness, and special-teams juice, he’s a very plausible fit.
