South Jordan (Utah) Bingham 2026 defensive lineman Viliami Moala announced his commitment to USC on Tuesday following a weekend visit to the Trojans campus for the win over Utah State.

The 6-foot-2, 305-pound Moala chose the Trojans over Oregon and a slew of others. He earned his offer in camp back in the summer.

“To be honest, man, I always loved USC,” Moala said. “They’ve always been my dream school. My first visit to USC they brought me on campus and that’s when I got my offer my sophomore year. It just felt at home and everyone at USC it’s a great environment and I want to be around it.”

The hot start by the Trojans this fall added to Moala’s excitement about the program.

“The last visit watching them against Utah State and watching Coach Nua do his thing on the field and how he coaches his players and the aggression that he instills into his players I want to be part of that with him and Coach Nua.”

Moala is commit No. 6 for the Trojans in the 2026 class, a haul the On3 Industry ranks No. 6 nationally.

The conversation with head coach Lincoln Riley helped seal the deal.

“Meeting Coach Riley and the rest of their staff, they treated me and my family with so much love and respect. It was just different and I knew it was home for me.”
