Salt Lake City (Utah) Bingham 2026 defensive lineman Viliami Moala has flipped his commitment from USC to Oregon, he announced on Monday.
Moala had previously been committed to the Trojans since September 10, when he chose USC over Utah, BYU and Arizona State.
“First and foremost I wanna thank My Lord and savior for helping me make this decision!” he wrote on Twitter. “I wanna thank all my family in my corner and standing by me with my decision! With that being said I wanna announce that I am committing to the University of Oregon!!!”
