Junior tailback Justin Davis participated in a full workout for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury on the first day of training camp.

Davis, the Trojans’ leading returning rusher, said he was working his way back to 100%.

Senior Tre Madden has looked sharp and freshmen Ronald Jones II, Dominic Davis and Aca’Cedric Ware also fueled Davis’ motivation to return.

“That’s why they came to ‘SC and that’s why I came here — the competition,” Justin Davis said. “They’re always going to keep me on my toes and they’ve shown it so far.”
