high-motor USC edge threat who played through injury
Morgan Breslin was a disruptive USC defender whose game was built on burst, effort, and backfield production; through four games in 2012, the Los Angeles Times described him as one of college football’s most effective defensive players, and USC named him its Defensive Lineman of the Year[2][4]. He brings clear pass-rush value and toughness, but his profile is also shaped by injury concerns, including reporting that he played through pain that season[6]. For a team, he fits as an intensity-driven edge player who can change a game when healthy.[2][4][6]
