Earlier this season, Will Muschamp said he was glad Jamyest Williams was upset.

The former four-star recruit, who was the crown jewel of USC’s 2017 recruiting class, had seen himself moved from slot corner to safety and then passed by J.T. Ibe for a starting spot.

But this season gave him a second chance.

A knee injury has Ibe sidelined. Nick Harvey has yet to establish a consistent presence in the rotation. So Williams is getting a lot of work, playing in much of USC’s win against Missouri.
