USC Trojans Lincoln Riley Evaluates Elite Linebackers

Transcript

00:00The younger defensive linemen like Jahkeem and Floyd and guys like that, Cash.

00:04Can you just talk about where they're at here as you're wrapping up spring?

00:08All very talented.

00:10All certainly have the ability to impact this team and our defense,

00:13our defensive line this year.

00:16Floyd really came out of the gate strong,

00:19was limited a little bit in the middle of spring and is back going again now.

00:22But we were super – we've been really pleased with Floyd, his explosiveness,

00:27how quickly he's caught on to our system.

00:29I would say a lot of the same things about Jahkeem.

00:32Jahkeem's been able to stay on the field the entire time.

00:35He's improved quickly.

00:38His natural ability is very apparent, and he's learning more and more, I think,

00:43the technique of it and certainly what we're doing schematically.

00:46But it just cleans up every day.

00:49But pretty impressive to see, again, with him being really a year younger than all these guys,

00:54the fact that he physically can go out here and hold his own with anybody,

00:57which, you know, that's pretty hard to do

00:59when you should be a junior in high school right now.

01:02Cash has done a good job.

01:03Okay?

01:27Yeah.
