Former USC fullback Lynn Cain, a graduate of Roosevelt High School, was named head coach at East Los Angeles College.
“Im very excited to have the opportunity to coach at the school that I attended and played at, and to be back among friends and family,” Cain said. “My friends are very excited, too. Ive heard from so many of them. Friends and coaches were calling me to tell me that they were pulling for me to get the job, so it really feels good to be back in the area.”
Cain, 52, started on the 1978 national-title team and left USC as the all-time leading rusher at fullback.
