USC football countdown to kickoff continues—Cyrus Hobbi in focus
The countdown to USC's 2025 football season is officially on! The Trojans kick off their new campaign 69 days from today. You need something to help you while away the days and hours in the spring and summer. This is one way to do so. In this new series, countdown to kickoff, we will be counting down the days by highlighting a notable Trojan who wore each number. The options for No. 69 are rather limited, but today, we take a look at former USC offensive lineman Cyrus Hobbi.
Position: Offensive line
Years played at USC: 2011-2015
Career highlights: After redshirting in 2011, Hobbi served as a reserve offensive lineman for the Trojans for the next four years. He saw playing time at both offensive guard and center, even making occasional spot starts when called upon. He wore the No. 69 for his first three years on campus, before switching to No. 47 following the 2013 season.
After USC: Hobbi did not get the opportunity to play professional football. Instead, however, he has pursued another passion of his: acting. A theater major during his time at USC, Hobbi has earned several acting roles over the past five years, perhaps his most notable of which being Yuri on the popular ABC television show General Hospital.
