See why USC deemed ‘Linebacker University’ by Bleacher Report

The USC Trojans have the distinct honor of being the best school for linebackers, according to Bleacher Report.

Bleacher Report is continuing ‘Position U Week’, their series labeling which schools have produced the most talent in the NFL at each position.

And while USC will do favorably at the quarterback position, they officially won the title of Linebacker University, edging out the Miami Hurricanes who boast a pair of Hall of Famers in Ray Lewis and Ted Hendricks.

USC’s win was more quantity based, although they get a huge boost from 12-time Pro Bowler Junior Seau, as well as Clay Matthews Jr. and Clay Matthews III – who went to a combined 10 Pro Bowls among them.

Other big name linebackers include Jack Del Rio, who is a candidate for the College Football Hall of Fame, Brian Cushing, and Lofa Tatupu.

All-in-all, USC has 12 linebackers who have been to at least one Pro Bowl, giving them far more depth than any other school – and more than enough to win the coveted title of ‘Linebacker University’.
