AJ Perez says the hazing culture has existed for years at USD and that several staffers knew of the sexualized nature of the activities — including first-year head coach Brandon Moore
Albert “AJ” Perez is a 6-foot-4 quarterback from Huntington Beach who spent his freshman year of college at Utah Tech University, a Division I program in St. George, Utah. He transferred to the University of San Diego over the summer and reported to preseason practice on Aug. 1. Eight days later, at about 11 p.m., Perez said players received a group text from veteran teammates ordering them to a “mandatory” event at a campus residence hall. The upperclassmen were inside the lounge, Perez said.
“I just kept asking, why? That was the big question running through my head: Why? This is so weird. Why would they even want to do this? What is the point of all this? “It has nothing to do with team bonding like they were preaching. It was just gross, in my opinion.” Perez said he then began hearing rumors of the annual “rookie show,” where new players perform a skit or a song in front of veterans. A text blast came late on the evening on Aug.
