When Alyssa Lang came to USC to become a broadcast journalist, she had the chance to put theory into practice from day one.
She built her career from a booth at the student org fair to Student Gamecock TV, a local TV station and eventually the SEC Network and ESPN.
Alyssa Lang knows ball.
And when she got to USC, she knew she wanted to pursue journalism. But she couldn't have imagined the journey that started in Columbia would lead her to some of the biggest stages in sports.

On September 20, 2001, South Carolina and Mississippi State took the field for the first major college football game following the attacks of September 11.
Today, we look back on a day marked by remembrance, unity, and American pride 🇺🇸
The state of the University of South Carolina is strong.
Don't just take our word for it. We caught up with students, faculty and staff at the annual State of the University address on the Horseshoe to ask them what they think of when they think about USC. ⤵️
Our vision is not only for the Carolina of today or next year, but also for the Carolina that serves and leads our state through another 225 years.
ALT Quote graphic from the State of the University address that says: Today is a great day to reflect on and celebrate the history of our university and the successes of our previous year. But more importantly, we are also here to prepare for another excellent year and for a bright future for many more years to come.
Across the board, we are breaking records by attracting, admitting, enrolling, retaining and graduating more students.
ALT State of the University quote graphic that says: People want to be part of our great story, part of a winning team. The students who commit to USC and want to build their futures here; the donors who invest in USC; the faculty who are driving innovation through research; and the alumni who represent us around the globe; all of these are markers of our success.
This is the state of the University of South Carolina in our 225th year – focused forward, planning strategically and educating the minds that will build our tomorrows.
ALT Quote graphic from the State of the University Address saying the following: Our beginning may have been modest in size, but it was bold in ambition. Always, there was a vision for a brighter future, and a commitment to serving our state and its citizens for countless generations. We are living in that future, and we are still building for greater seasons ahead.
