The Trojan torch is being passed from one center to another. Justin Dedich was the center for USC in 2023. In 2024, Jonah Monheim will take over. Lincoln Riley announced the move earlier in the week, something most USC football insiders were already expecting. Now it is confirmed. Dedich did a great job for USC on the 2022 offensive line. He wasn’t as good in 2023, but he will still be remembered as part of a group which revived USC football and took the Trojans very close to the College Football Playoff.
Dedich was interviewed at the USC pro day on Wednesday. Dedich has seen Jonah Monheim excel for the Trojans. Like any other Trojan, Dedich expects Monheim to do really well for USC in 2024 and the Big Ten Conference. That isn’t what one would call a newsmaker. The fun quote from Dedich at USC pro day came when he was asked if he had any advice for his successor.
Dedich’s short and to-the-point answer: “Don’t false start.”
USC’s center position is in very good hands in 2024.
Asked departing USC center Justin Dedich his thoughts on Jonah Monheim moving to his old position.
“I’m super excited for him. He’s going to be a beast center.”
Any advice?
