Calen Bullock, a junior safety for the USC Trojans, has 24 tackles on the season, second most on the team. He leads the USC defense with four pass breakups. He also has recorded an interception.
The Lott IMPACT Trophy is awarded annually to a football player who follows the example of Ronnie Lott. The all-caps “IMPACT” acronym identifies a player who excels as a model of “Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity.”
Bullock, a 2022 First Team All-American, started all 14 games last season and led USC in interceptions with 5 (ranked 11th in the nation). He also tallied 48 tackles (sixth on the team) and 5 pass breakups (tied for second on the team). He was named to the All-Pac-12 Second Team and the AP All-Pac-12 First Team.
In his three-year career, Bullock has 111 tackles, 8 interceptions (running one back for a TD) and 12 pass breakups, appearing in 31 games with 19 career starts.
The four finalists will be invited to attend the annual Lott IMPACT Trophy Award Show on December 10, 2023, in Newport Beach, California. Joel Klatt from Fox Sports will emcee the event.

Oklahoma fans were right about Lincoln Riley, at least for this specific season.
USC assistants need to be coaching for their jobs against Utah and into November.
Lincoln Riley did not assemble an elite 2023 roster, which surprised us and a lot of other observers.
Is USC ready to win in 2024 with Miller Moss or Malachi Nelson at quarterback? Lincoln Riley has to be honest about how he answers that question.
Brent Venables is coaching Oklahoma far better this year than Lincoln Riley is coaching USC. It’s up to Riley to change that reality against Utah.
