There have been rumors about this for weeks now, and on Wednesday, those rumors were realized. During the early period of National Signing Day, as multiple recruits officially submitted their National Letters of Intent to Michigan State Football, a bomb was dropped when 4-star linebacker Ma’a Gaoteote flipped his commitment from USC to the Spartans.
Gaoteote, who is from Las Vegas Bishop Gorman, was committed to the Trojans since Feb. 2018 before Tucker and his staff flipped him on Wednesday. Gaoteote is the No. 155 player in the country by the 247Sports rankings and their No. 11 ranked outside linebacker overall by the composite rankings.

This is a huge land for the Spartans, who will also be trying to land his brother Palaie out of the transfer portal. Palaie played at USC before entering the transfer portal this year.
