On Friday, USC opens up its 2026 fall camp. The Trojans held their first official practice this morning in preparation for next month’s season opener.
Earlier this week, USC put out its updated football roster. As noted by Shotgun Spratling of 247Sports, it contains several significant developments regarding the weights of players.
Three Trojans saw changes of 20 or more pounds. Tight end Walter Matthews is up from 285 pounds to 305, while cornerback Carrington Pierce rose from 165 to 185. On the other side, offensive lineman Elijah Vaikona dropped from 385 pounds down to 360.
In addition, defensive lineman Zuriah Fisher is now listed at six feet four inches, two inches taller than he was previously. Fisher is 24 years old, so the notion of him growing two inches since the spring is a bit questionable, but crazier things have happened.
Finally, as pointed out by Marc Kulkin and Chris Treviño of On3, redshirt freshman Cash Jacobsen has moved to offensive line. He was listed as a defensive lineman last year, appearing in one game.
USC will kick off its 2026 season on August 29 at the Coliseum against San Jose State.
