USC’s top safety already declared for the NFL draft. Its top cornerback joined him soon after that announcement.
But Friday, one key piece of the Trojans secondary proclaimed his intent to return for his final season. Safety Isaiah Pola-Mao, who served as one of USC’s captains last season, officially announced he will lead the Trojans defense again in 2021.
“Time to get back to work,” Pola-Mao tweeted Friday morning, along with a video that declared he would “run it back.”
That announcement was expected, especially as the deadline for underclassmen to declare for the draft passed earlier this week.
