2025 EDGE Nela Tupou flips commitment from Utah Utes to USC Trojans

Folsom (Calif.) three-star EDGE Nela Tupou has flipped his commitment from Utah to the USC Trojans.
He had been committed to the Utes since Feb. 20.
Tupou was offered by Southern Cal on Oct. 30 and took an official visit to Los Angeles over the Nov. 16 weekend.
After a rash of decommitments in that position group, Tupou is the lone edge rusher currently committed to USC. Committed elsewhere along the defensive line are Miami Central (Fla.) three-star Floyd Boucard, Lake Travis (Texas) three-star Gus Cordova and Jenks (Okla.) three-star Cash Jacobsen.
