Adoree’ Jackson led the Trojans in Interceptions (4) and pass break ups (11) during his junior season. Not to mention that Adoree’ Jackson had a huge impact on special teams with 4 touchdowns off of punt and kick returns combined. While he didn’t get the invite to New York City for the Heisman ceremony, Jackson was also a finalist for the Paul Hournung award and the Thorpe Award.
Zach Banner on the other hand is the leader on the offensive line and provided a positive voice for the Trojans. The Senior is USC’s first tackle to be named All-American since Matt Kahlil had the honors in 2011.
