USC players cheered and greeted their newest teammate, Joey Rodriguez, as the 8-year-old became an honorary member of the Trojans’ football team.

Rodriguez, who wants to play quarterback, is suffering from a brain tumor.

Through the nonprofit organization Friends of Jaclyn, USC and Coach Steve Sarkisian on Thursday held a commitment ceremony for Rodriguez, who will attend Saturday’s game agianst Arizona State.
