Believe it or not, we are now more than halfway through USC’s 2026 regular season! The Trojans currently sit at 6-1 overall and 3-1 in Big Ten play heading into this Saturday’s game at Wisconsin.
This week, The Athletic revealed its college football midseason All-America team. Making the team was USC offensive lineman Elijah Paige.
“Paige is a terrific pass blocker who uses his 6-foot-7, 315-pound frame well,” writer Sam Khan Jr. wrote. “He’s allowed just three pressures in 202 pass-blocking snaps this season and zero sacks while lining up at left tackle.”
Paige is currently in his third season starting at left tackle for the Trojans. His strong play this season is one of the biggest reasons that Jayden Maiava and the USC offense have looked like one of the top units in the country through the team’s first seven games.
