USC holds it own media day on Friday minus a couple people you might have heard of named Lincoln and Caleb. I guess the idea is those two deal with the media enough so they don’t need to attend media day. OK. These are the offensive linemen who will attend: Justin Dedich, Jarrett Kingston, Jonah Monheim, Emmanuel Pregnon, Gino Quinones and Michael Tarquin.
