**Breaking News: USC Names Jeremiah Donati as 31st Director of Athletics**
The University of Southern California (USC) has officially named Jeremiah Donati as its 31st Director of Athletics, a pivotal role in overseeing the school’s athletic programs and furthering its legacy in collegiate sports. Donati, who brings extensive experience in both leadership and sports management, takes over the reins from former Athletic Director Mike Bohn, who retired earlier this year after a distinguished tenure.
Donati arrives at USC from TCU (Texas Christian University), where he served as Vice Chancellor and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics for several years. Under his leadership, TCU’s athletic programs flourished, with the school achieving success across multiple sports, most notably in football, where the Horned Frogs made a historic appearance in the 2023 College Football Playoff National Championship.
USC officials praised Donati for his ability to build winning cultures, foster athletic excellence, and strengthen financial support for programs through successful fundraising initiatives. His leadership at TCU earned him recognition as one of the brightest rising stars in collegiate athletics, and many believe he is the ideal candidate to lead USC into a new era of competitiveness and success across all sports.
In his new role at USC, Donati will oversee one of the most storied athletic departments in the country, home to championship teams and world-class athletes. USC has long been known for its success in football, basketball, and track and field, and Donati’s appointment comes at a time when the university is working to rebuild its athletic programs following recent challenges in certain areas.
“I am deeply honored and excited to join USC,” Donati said in a statement. “This is one of the most prestigious athletic departments in the country, and I look forward to working with coaches, staff, and student-athletes to build on this legacy and ensure a bright future for USC Athletics.”
With Donati at the helm, USC looks poised for an exciting and dynamic future in collegiate athletics.
