I’m privileged and honored to have been able to sit down with the USC Trojan legend to talk all things USC football. It’s all part of our Q&A series featuring the man himself, Cody Kessler.

Trojans Wire: You earned a master’s degree in communications. Will you be venturing into the media field similar to other Trojan legends (Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, Mark Sanchez)?

Cody Kessler: My two interests are in media/broadcasting and coaching at the college level.

Kessler just joined Keely Eure, the team reporter and director of creative content for USC Athletics, co-hosting “The Victory Podcast.” The program also features former Trojan linebakcr Dion Bailey.

Trojans Wire: Let’s talk about your former team: How do you think USC and new head coach Lincoln Riley will do in the 2022 season?

Cody Kessler: My expectations are a lot of championships and a long career in Los Angeles. Great start to the tenure with the 66-14 win against Rice.

Trojan Wire: Could quarterback Caleb Williams legitimately win the Heisman in Year 1 as a Trojan?

Cody Kessler: Oh, I definitely think it’s possible, especially with coach Riley and the playmakers around him.

Stay Tuned for much more with Cody Kessler in our Q&A series this month!
