2028 Team USA Olympic beach volleyball hopeful Ally Batenhorst

USA Today6 days ago
Ally Batenhorst has never played beach volleyball. That doesn't faze U.S. Olympic veteran Sara Hughes, who is looking for a new partner. Hughes wants to complete in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles and has tabbed the professional indoor volleyball player. It isn't as if Batenhorst is new to volleyball itself. She starred at Nebraska before transferring to USC for a final collegiate season. 'When I first saw her, I was like, 'wow,'' Hughes said. 'She has such athleticism. She looks like a true leader on the court. She's very passionate, and I thought all those would translate to the beach.'

USC football countdown to kickoff—Cameron Smith in focus

The countdown to USC's 2025 football season is officially on! The Trojans kick off their new campaign 35 days from today. You need something to help you while away the days and hours in the spring and summer. This is one way to do so. In this new series, countdown to kickoff, we will be counting down the days by highlighting a notable Trojan who wore each number. Today, we look at former USC linebacker Cameron Smith. Position: Linebacker Years played at USC: 2015-2018 Career highlights: As a true freshman in 2015, Smith burst onto the scene with a three-interception game against Utah, one of which he returned for a pick six. Funnily enough, however, those would be the only three interceptions Smith would record in his entire USC career. Despite this, he still had an exceptional tenure in Cardinal and Gold, finishing his time with the Trojans with 353 total tackles, 11 passes defended, and 3.5 sacks. Smith earned first-team All-Pac-12 honors in 2017 and second-team honors in both 2016 and 2018. In both his junior and seniors seasons, he was named a team captain. After USC: The Minnesota Vikings selected Smith in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. As a rookie, he appeared in five regular season games, recording eight total tackles. During the summer of 2020, however, it was announced that Smith would need to undergo open heart surgery, causing him to miss the entire season. He medically retired from football the following year.
