Five-star defensive end Matayo Uiagalelei committed to Oregon this morning. St. John Bosco coach Jason Negro made the announcement, saying Uiagalelei was in the hospital and could not be at the school’s Signing Day press conference. Should people wait for the letter of intent to be signed? This comes as a stinging loss for USC because Uiagalelei was assumed to have the Trojans as his … Continue reading USC Signs 19 Players So Far*; Matayo Uiagalelei To Oregon

Signing Day is here! Where will five-star defensive end Matayo Uiagalelei of St. John Bosco sign? The finalists are USC, Oregon and Ohio State.

I’m wondering if some of the other linebackers besides Ralen Goforth are thinking of transferring given the Trojans’ activity in the transfer portal. Continue reading USC Lineman Enters Portal
