Maninoa announced his commitment to the Trojans via a video on Twitter, picking the cardinal and gold over UCLA, Texas, Washington and LSU.

A 6-foot-3, 225-pound linebacker prospect, Maninoa ranks 151st among all players in the class of 2019, per the 247Sports composite. He is the sixth-best inside linebacker on the board and the third-best player coming out of Hawaii.

As a junior in 2017, he had 88 tackles, 17 tackles for loss and three forced fumbles.
