Finding the strength to play after the death of his grandmother was not easy for USC safety Calen Bullock, but he knew she would want him to play and dominate.
USC was letting star receivers run wide open. The Trojans were getting embarrassed by trick plays. They were being dragged all over their home field. Down 17-0 against Arizona, Calen Bullock had seen enough. “Lock! The! F—! In!” the junior safety shouted as he pulled the USC defense together on the sideline. His eyes were wide and fiery. His voice boomed. His teammates had never seen him like this.
Standing in Bullock’s freshman dorm room after helping him move in, Annette considered just how far those 15 miles felt. 'Coming from where we come from and for you to get a full scholarship to go to a great university like this?” Annette said. “This is a blessing.' Bullock keeps a reminder of his roots on his left upper arm, where “Kings Villages” is tattooed in a skinny black type. He grew up in the low-income apartment complex in Pasadena with his grandmother.
