The junior defensive back, who has overcome injuries, was singled out for praise after recording an interception and forced fumble in the 10th-ranked Trojans’ 41-28 victory at Stanford.
PALO ALTO — USC safety Max Williams had just finished speaking, and another question was being asked at the press conference following the 10th-ranked Trojans’ 41-28 win over Stanford.“I’ll say too, this guy’s been a warrior for us,” Riley said. “He had a little medical thing done after spring. He could have easily not pushed through spring, had it done then. He didn’t do it. He waited, got every single rep he possibly could, fought through it.
“I’ll add to that, he’s played, since I’ve got here, he’s made me better,” the QB said. “And then too, like Coach said, he fought through all those little injuries and he came back in fall and played different positions on defense, wherever they needed him. And like Coach said, that’s kind of what we need and the players we need mentality-wise.”
It was the spring of 2021 when Williams tore his ACL, the same injury he suffered his senior year in high school. His path to a starting job as a redshirt sophomore was over. Instead, he was on the road to rehab.
