USC football walk-on Josiah Zamora receives huge surprise at practice

Josiah Zamora is a redshirt junior wide receiver at USC from Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana. If you want a feel-good moment in the middle of a tough day, just watch this video on loop for a few minutes. USC football and head coach Lincoln Riley surprised Zamora with a scholarship offer, a reward for Zamora’s hard work, commitment, and loyalty to both the Trojan football program and to his teammates on the field and in the locker room. Want to see how much his teammates love Zamora and care about him? You can watch the video and see for yourself. This is the best of sports and how athletic competition can bring a band of brothers together. People caring about other people — and taking joy in someone else’s success, not their own — is the wholesome moment we can all use in the midst of life’s pressures and worries.

Congratulations, Josiah Zamora! You earned this!
