Jayden Maiava, the Mountain West Freshman of the Year and former UNLV quarterback, who threw for 3,085 yards, 17 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions last season, has experienced a tumultuous transfer period. Initially, after announcing his intention to stay at UNLV, Maiava entered the transfer portal and committed to the University of Georgia, which is ranked No. 1 in the Way Too Early Top 25 rankings. His addition was expected to bolster the Bulldogs' quarterback lineup, and there were discussions about him learning from Carson Beck. However, in a sudden turn of events, Maiava flipped his commitment from Georgia to USC. This latest decision, confirmed by Maiava's father and his NIL representative, provides USC with much-needed depth and competition at the quarterback position. The development comes after Maiava was hosted by USC for an official visit.
