USC landed a big fish on Monday when highly-rated defensive tackle Marlon Tuipulotu announced his decision to change his commitment from Washington to the Trojans.
Tuipulotu took a surprise official visit to USC this weekend, despite UW head coach Chris Petersen’s policy against committed recruits visiting other schools.
There turned out to be fire behind that smoke as Tuipulotu made it official via Twitter that his commitment had been flipped.
Please respect my decision and no interviews at this moment. Thank you. pic.twitter.com/ViKdxgEX08
Naturally, social media exploded with the news as USC commits and coaches, as well as recruits on the outside, commented on the major recruiting shift.
