Jayden Maiava, the Mountain West Freshman of the Year, has made a significant move in his college football career by flipping his commitment from the University of Georgia to the University of Southern California (USC). Maiava, who had an impressive redshirt freshman season with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), throwing for 3,085 yards, 17 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions, was initially reported to have committed to Georgia. However, after a whirlwind recruitment process, and discussions with his father William and NIL representative, Maiava has decided to transfer to USC, providing the Trojans with additional depth and competition at the quarterback position, where he will push Miller Moss for the QB1 job. Maiava's decision, influenced by coach Lincoln Riley, adds to the intrigue of the upcoming season as he becomes the first-ever Polynesian quarterback in the history of the USC Trojans football program.
On Monday, UNLV transfer QB Jayden Maiava’s dad suggested he commit to Georgia. Maiava went along with it. But he was leaning to USC already, father William said. Maiava officially committed to USC on Wednesday — but really to Lincoln Riley. Details: https://t.co/XnYQ10nFyy
