USC Morning Buzz: Jayden Maiava Gets Nice Invite

USC QB Jayden Maiava is among the quarterbacks invited to the Manning Passing Academy camp next month at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, La.

Arch Manning (Texas), Julian Sayin (Ohio State), C.J. Carr (Notre Dame) and Trinidad Chambliss are among the other quarterbacks invited.

  • Kentucky pitcher Oliver Boone has committed to USC. Boone made only 10 appearances with one start for Kentucky in 2026 and had a 6.35 ERA. He went to Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks and has two years of eligibility.

      2. She actually enjoys looking like a dumb@ss. There’s no way she’d post the stuff she does, including all of the names she uses, if she didn’t.

        She’ll cry about that and insult us. But actions speak louder than words.

    2. ESPN doesn’t exactly have the same high opinion of USC’s 2026 football team as Lindy’s —-just the opposite in fact.

      Naturally, Texas, Notre Dame, Miami and LSU are picked ahead of us….but so are the following Big Ten teams:

      Ohio State

      Indiana

      Michigan

      Penn State

      Washington

      Iowa

      1. P. S.

        Oddly [very oddly], ESPN predicts USC will get an at large bid to the playoffs —where it will beat Hawaii in a first round matchup…and lose to Notre Dame in the Quarter Finals.

      4. KAM: How is SC getting to the playoff against Hawaii if they are predicting losses to:

        Ohio State

        Indiana

        Penn State

        Washington

        DON: Good question!

      5. Yeah –I had the same question. All I can figure is: we don’t play Iowa or Michigan …and maybe luck out against one of those other teams.

  4. KY pitcher soon to be a Trojan Oliver Boone welcome to USC!

    Two weeks ago today I attended an alumni gathering of classes 1951 – 1975 at Notre Dame High School – Sherman Oaks, CA – admittedly few if any of the class of 1951 nor many until 1960’s appeared to attend but nonetheless a fitting event. My class had professional athletes John Vella and Tim Foli as graduates and a great number of professionally gifted individuals.
    Welcome Oliver Boone a ‘Knight’ ih high school and now a Trojan forever!

    1. Only about 2 dozen left in my high school class [out of roughly 500], Alv. The Reunion will be bittersweet.
