2. University of Southern California Trojans 

With the return of seniors Andrew Levitt and Rico Hoey, as well as junior Sean Crocker, the USC Trojans have a triple threat of talented players. Head coach Chris Zambri is also coming back for a 10th season, so the veteran leader will look to continue the success of the charging Trojans.

Mostly known for its football program, the school may have another team to cheer for this year. In 2015, the Trojans made it to the NCAA Championships but went on to lose to the LSU Tigers, who added to their rich sports resume.

Like Illinois, USC is a relative newcomer to the NCAA Golf Championships. However, this could be the beginning of a new generation of college golf, and the Trojans will be dangerous.
