After much prayer and support from my USC family, I’ve made the difficult decision to step back from my role as Executive Director of Recruiting to honor my responsibilities as a mom to our new baby, Rock, and wife to my amazing husband, Zach. While this decision wasn’t easy, I’m filled with excitement for the continued growth of USC football and all that lies ahead for our program. These last eight seasons—winning and chasing championships under Coach Riley’s leadership—have been incredibly rewarding. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside so many extraordinary people, and I’m deeply grateful for the excellence, togetherness, creativity, grit, and passion that define the Trojan Family. I am looking forward to supporting our team in an alternative role and will be cheering for our leadership team as they position our people and program for greatness. And while my days in college football aren’t over, I want to thank every coach, coach’s wife, teammate, mentor, player, recruit, and family member who has been a part of our journey. A special thanks to our immediate family, who has made countless sacrifices to allow me to do what I love. I’m beyond grateful and excited for the next season ahead! With love, Annie
