There are two things USC football offensive line coach Josh Henson needs to do to save his job. One is that he has to coach the 2024 USC offensive line a lot better. Second, Henson has to recruit better. USC simply needs high-end offensive linemen and an overall talent upgrade. Henson came through on Friday, landing Utah decommit Aaron Dunn in a big flip and overall pickup for USC.
Dunn is a highly-coveted offensive lineman with size, length and reach at 6-8 and 290 pounds. The body, the agility, the natural tools — this is the package of physical attributes and overall skills Henson can work with to mold USC’s offensive line into a more formidable fighting force. This is the kind of big-fish recruiting score Henson needs to continue to accumulate.
However, whether Henson deserves the chance to coach Dunn and the 2025 Trojan offensive line should also depend in part on how he coaches the second half of this season. This is clearly the toughest decision facing Lincoln Riley in terms of the composition of his 2025 coaching staff at USC football.
