No. 35 Tradition Returns

Posted on March 25, 2015 by Scott Wolf

USC coach Steve Sarkisian asked freshman linebacker Cameron Smith to wear No. 35, which used to be a hallowed number worn by well-known USC linebackers Riki (Gray) Ellison and Scott Ross (above).
“I like that we’re able to put him in 35,” Sarkisian said. “He didn’t understand the significance of it. I explained to him when I grew up 35 meant a lot.”

Does this mean before he plays a game Sark is anointing Smith with Riki and Scott status?
