Super Bowl Sunday is officially here! This year’s Super Bowl game between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks features four former USC players: Sam Darnold, Leonard Williams, Uchenna Nwosu and Brandon Pili.
Williams, a former All-American defensive lineman at USC, is set to play in his first Super Bowl after 11 years in the league. Saturday, Ed Orgeron, who coached USC’s defensive line during Williams’ tenure with the team Trojan horses, shared a message for him on social media.

“Big cat Leonard Williams!” said Orgeron. “It’s Coach O, man, how are you doing? Congratulations, man, on making it to the Super Bowl.
“I followed you, I watched you, you evolved. You came from Florida, you trusted us. You came to USC, it was a great school, they love you.
“Now you’re playing in the Super Bowl. Remember your fundamentals tomorrow, man… get your kicks out of this football and come in a bad mood. Go for it, Hawks.”
Orgeron is best known for his tenure as head coach of LSU, where he won a national championship in 2019. However, USC fans will always appreciate him for his time as an assistant and interim head coach of the Trojans, where he also enjoyed significant success. Orgeron has had many great defensive linemen during his two stints at USC, but perhaps none have been as dominant as Williams, who will play for his first career Super Bowl championship on Sunday.
