Ex-Trojans OL Fred Matua, 28, dies

Former USC offensive lineman Fred Matua passed away Sunday morning at the age of 28. Sources close to Matua said the cause of death was heart related. Matua had been hospitalized recently, and former teammates had taken to social media to ask for support and prayers. The 6-foot-2, 305-pound Matua was a three-year starting offensive guard for the Trojans from 2003-05. He was part of the team's 34-game win streak, the 2005 Notre Dame "Bush Push" game and the BCS title game victory against Oklahoma, which has since been vacated. Matua played at Banning High School in Wilmington, Calif., where he led the Pilots to the 2000 Los Angeles City title and earned All-American honors as a two-way lineman. He chose USC in a recruiting battle over UCLA -- his uncle, Titus Tuiasosopo, had played offensive guard for the Trojans in the 1990s.
