Troy Polamalu, who was drafted in 2003 after his senior season at USC but hadn’t earned his degree, has been awarded a bachelor’s in history from the school. Polamalu, a two-time All-American for the Trojans, took part with more than 1,000 master’s and undergraduate students Friday morning in a commencement ceremony for USC’s political science, international relations and history majors.
More than 6,000 people were in attendance for the the Shrine Auditorium event on the school’s Los Angeles campus. The student receiving the loudest cheer, though, was one of the oldest of the bunch: Polamalu, who was drafted 16th overall in 2003 by the Steelers. “I’m officially a USC graduate!” the six-time Pro Bowler wrote on his website, troy43.com.
