Former USC quarterback John David Booty came to the Optometry Practice of Dr. Alex Corbin Liu. John had his eyes examined by Dr. Liu and then had the opportunity to pick out new eyewear.

It was nice having a former Trojan from the Pete Carroll era at the office. John was very friendly and told us stories from his time at USC.

John had two seasons as the starting quarterback at USC after the departure of Matt Leinart. He shined both years and led the Trojans to two Rose Bowl victories. Following his final season, John was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL Draft.

Cowart

On August 18, 2015, Kaleb Bryant Cowart made his major league debut with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Once again, Kaleb has been a late season call up and may finally show why he was a first round pick.

Kaleb spent much of the 2012 season with the Inland Empire 66ers of the California League.

I want to wish Kaleb the best of luck in The Show.
