Countdown to kickoff is back! USC will kick off its 2026 football season on August 29 when the Trojans host San Jose State at the Coliseum. In this series, we will be counting down the days until the season opener by highlighting a notable Trojan who wore each number.
There are not a ton of recent options for the number 63, so today, we take it way back to the early 1970s and look at former USC All-American offensive lineman Booker Brown.
Position: Offensive line
Years played at USC: 1972-1973
Career highlights: After spending the first two years of his college career at the junior college level, Brown transferred to USC in 1972. Although he did not begin the season as a starter, injuries on the offensive line forced him into the starting lineup, where he thrived. The 1972 Trojans would go on to win the national championship, putting together one of the greatest seasons in college football history. As a senior the following year, Brown earned consensus first-team All-American honors.
