Jahleel Pinner brings old-school fullback grit to USC
In the 2026 season, USC senior fullback Jahleel Pinner is a compact 5-foot-11, 240-pound throwback who brings physical lead-blocking value, steady reliability, and a little sneaky versatility as a short-yardage receiver and occasional runner; across his USC career he has 8 catches for 36 yards, 2 carries for 6 yards, 3 tackles, and 6 starts. He’s not a stat-sheet centerpiece, but he’s the kind of tone-setter coaches love: tough, experienced, and built for dirty work in the run game.
