Peristyle Podcast – Catching up with Trojan defensive lineman Nate Clifton
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka “Triple Double”) are back in studio with Vanderbilt transfer defensive lineman Nate Clifton joining the show. The 6-foot-4, 289 pound senior comes to Los Angeles from Nashville with a ton of experience at a position of critical need for the Trojans. In his five seasons at Vanderbilt he played in 43 games with 37 starts and amassed 93 tackles including 12.5 for loss and 7.5 sacks with three pass breakups and in interception.
Ryan and Connor chat with Clifton about his decision to transfer to USC, how spring football went for him, his progress during the summer workouts, working with defensive line coach Eric Henderson, his first impressions of the new-look Trojan defense and lots more.
The interview with Clifton was conducted in conjunction with House of Victory, an alumni-backed nonprofit collective dedicated to providing a competitive edge in the NIL space for University of Southern California student-athletes.

Great interview! We need all the help we can get on the defensive line. Shout out to Nate! Fight on! ✌🏾
Nate seems like a great guy
Ryan, when are we going to see a USC Summer School episode with Bud Elliot?
Really enjoyed this interview with Nate and any guy that loves his dog is a good guy in my book. Wishing him a very successful season. Fight On.
I think we would all love to see the starting weight for the defensive line and where they all are entering fall camp.
Some booster buy Nate a car!
Fight on from Nashville
Great interview Gentlemen, with my Nate “The Great”! Our family is so excited about his transition to LA and ready for the RISE & GRIND to SHINE through! It’s about to go down Trojan Style!! #Fighton #TrojanMomma #faithfamilyfootball #RiseandGrind99
Great interview what an intelligent young man I wish him all the best. He’s a super addition to USC’s football team.
He doesn’t have a car. Can you imagine any player at Oregon saying that?
