The inside linebackers have bonded through competition and developed a trust in hopes of transforming the Trojans’ defense
USC inside linebackers Easton Mascarenas-Arnold, left, and Mason Cobb have forged a strong relationship in their short time together. He’s lived with Akili Arnold for a decade, since their parents got married in 2012, the two melding into a two-headed unit so inseparable they came from Oregon State to USC as a package deal in the transfer portal. The linebacker and safety butt heads. They mirror each other. Blood, as Mascarenas-Arnold said in the spring, couldn’t possibly make them closer.
“He has that same fire I do,” Cobb said, grinning last Wednesday. “Playing linebacker with someone like that – it just elevates your game.” “By taking some things off his plate or out of his hands, we’ve created clarity, allowed him to get his cleats in the ground and play fast,” Entz said of Cobb last Wednesday. “And that’s what we need.”Cobb, for one, disagreed with the notion he was overwhelmed at times with communication in 2023. His struggles – beyond injury, which caused him to miss a couple games – came down to personnel, he felt.
