USC Trojans athletic director Mike Bohn surprisingly resigned from his position, he and the school confirmed Friday.

Bohn was hired by the University of Southern California in 2019 after Lynn Swann left the program.

"After more than 40 years of college athletics leadership, it is the right time to step away from my position as director of athletics at the University of Southern California," Bohn said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times.

"I have dedicated my life to serving student-athletes and advancing the enterprise of intercollegiate athletics."
