USC football’s 2025 preseason camp is officially underway! On Wednesday, the Trojans held their first official practice of the buildup to the coming season. This marks the start of a 4.5-week ramp-up period leading up to the season opener against Missouri State at the Coliseum exactly one month from Wednesday.
The practice marked the first of 26 camp sessions for USC. Some of those will be open to the media, while others will be closed. Head coach Lincoln Riley and defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn will both give interviews at least once per week, with other coaches and players potentially available to speak at various points throughout camp.

“Great first day,” Riley said following Wednesday’s practice. “Thought the staff, guys, really attacked it. Was really impressed with the conditioning level, discipline of the team coming out of the summer.
“Guys came in in shape, ready to go. We’re pretty healthy right now.”
The Trojans are coming off a year in which they finished 7-6 with a Las Vegas Bowl victory over Texas A&M. Heading into year two in the Big Ten, USC will look to demonstrate a significant improvement on the field in 2025.
