Osa Masina, Don Hill back at practice for USC despite rape investigation
Osa Masina and Don Hill were back at practice for USC on Tuesday despite being investigated for rape allegations.
News emerged last week that Masina was accused of raping the same woman on two separate occasions in two different states in July. The first alleged incident reportedly took place at the home of Hill, also a sophomore on the Trojans’ football team.
Masina was suspended indefinitely and held out of USC’s season-opening game against Alabama, while Hill was sent home from Texas and missed the game after reports said he was also part of the investigation.

USC head coach Clay Helton told reporters on Sunday that Masina and Hill would be allowed to continue practicing with the team, and attend team meetings and school classes while the investigation was ongoing. USC hosts Utah State on Saturday, but Helton has not indicated whether either will play.
