USC football coach Lincoln Riley made a handful of moves official Tuesday in finalizing his staff before a pivotal 2026 season. Riley announced the hiring of Mike Ekeler as special teams coordinator and linebackers coach; Paul Gonzales as safeties coach and defensive pass game coordinator; and Skyler Jones as defensive tackles coach. All three assistants will work under new defensive coordinator Gary Patterson as the Trojans continue their efforts to improve on that side of the ball while reaching the College Football Playoff for the first time.
