Summary

In this special edition of Tunnel Vision hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio and joined remotely by Trojan second year offensive lineman Justin Tauanuu who came to USC in the class of 2024 out of Huntington Beach High School. Thanks to House of Victory, the 6-foot-6, 310 pound tackle out of Surf City had a lengthy interview with our hosts, talking about his recruiting process with an earlier commitment to Stanford before switching to USC, being a Polynesian All-American, his first year as a Trojan where he saw action in three games including the Las Vegas Bowl victory over Texas A&M, working with new offensive line coach Zach Hanson and competing for a starting tackle spot during spring practice. The interview with Tauanuu was conducted in conjunction with House of Victory, an alumni-backed nonprofit collective dedicated to providing a competitive edge in the NIL space for University of Southern California student-athletes.
