Any diehard college football fan knows about Phil Steele. The man whose magazine has been a staple for generations of college football junkies is one of the most respected and admired people in the publishing industry. He is a legend in his sport and in his profession. Fans can’t wait to see what he has to say about each team. The Phil Steele college football preview lays out the returning starters, the unit rankings, and the other topics we can’t wait to discuss in the summer to get us through those final weeks before the arrival of Week 1 in late August and early September. We at Trojans Wire were fortunate and blessed to be able to interview Phil Steele about the USC football team heading into the 2024 season. Our interview appears at The Voice of College Football, where we host a Monday commentary show with Mark Rogers and a Friday call-in show with USC fans.
Here are the various notes, links, and takeaways from our talk with Phil Steele and his position-group rankings for USC in 2024:
