Johnny Brackins Aims To Boost USC's Jumps Contingent
Dec 17, 2020
When Johnny Brackins signed with the University of Southern California this month, what he saw was a strong potential with the Trojans jumps contingent and with the men's program that had been a traditional sprints powerhouse.
He pointed specifically to a hire the team made in 2019: Assistant jumps and multis coach Nick Newman.
The former England international, a 25-foot-plus jumper, also happened to be the Trojans' recruiting coordinator.
"Everyone knows them for their successes in the sprints and hurdles," Brackins said. "But I took it as an opportunity to build within the jumps program."
