USC Safety Josh Shaw Saves Nephew


On Saturday night, senior USC defensive back Josh Shaw was named one of the 6 team captains at the annual Salute to Troy dinner & only hours later unmistakeably proved Sarkisian's point.  Shaw was at a family party in Palmdale on a 2nd story balcony when he saw his 7 year-old nephew struggling to stay afloat in a pool on the ground floor.  With little regard for his personal safety, Shaw jumped off the balcony and landed hard on the pavement.  Despite the pain in Shaw's legs, he was able to save his traumatized nephew.  After going to the hospital, Shaw was diagnosed with two high ankle sprains from the heroic maneuver.  High ankle sprains have a tendency to linger, so it's safe to assume USC's defense will be without his services for approximately two months.  Luckily defensive back is one of the positions will some depth, but USC will be sure miss Shaw in the next few games.
