Watch Su’a Cravens discuss his position at USC

USC safety Su’a Cravens said he would play whatever position the Trojans require.

Saturday against Oregon State, it could be linebacker.

“I’m playing Sam this week,” said Cravens, referring to the strong-side linebacker position. Cravens said the move was not permanent.

“Right now, it’s a one-week thing,” he said.

Cravens last season was listed at 215 pounds. He gained noticeable weight in the off-season, but when asked during fall camp about potentially changing positions, he was adamant about playing safety.

This week, his stance softened.

“It’s not about me wanting to do it,” Cravens said. “It’s about me helping my team and that’s what I’m going to do.”

“They’re putting my in a position to make plays and that’s what I’m going to do.”
