GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
The attrition beat goes on at Troy where USC has lost projected starting cornerback Shareece Wright to academic ineligibility. We'll outline USC's growing injury woes in a moment but Wright's is intriguing because he had starting experience on an otherwise young defense that lost tons of players to the NFL.Wright was expected to be part of a loaded secondary which has been dominant all camp for USC. Instead, the Trojans will shift sixth year cornerback-safety Josh Pinkard to cornerback and move longtime backup safety Will Harris to a starting gig. Harris replaced an injured Kevin Ellison for five starts last year and the USC defense remained superb as Harris shined particularly against Penn State in the Rose Bowl with an interception and fumble recovery.
As for Wright, he might be eligible to play in any bowl game USC's a part of if he gets the book stuff straightened out. He's considered the teams' best or second-best cover corner, not blazing fast but with a great feel for the position and physical style. You might remember him laying out Washington quarterback Jake Locker from a few years ago.
Elsewhere, this adds to the roll of departed players at Troy. It isn't a new phenomena as every year USC seems to rack up injuries and departures but marches on thanks to crazy depth.
Starters also potentially out for the opening game and beyond:
Center Kristofer O'Dowd, guard Nick Howell, quarterback Aaron Corp, defensive end Armond Armstead, defensive tackle Averell Spicer, receiver Ronald Johnson
