Making his pick live on ESPN2, Solomon Tuliaupupu announced his decision to join USC’s class of 2018 on Signing Day, becoming the Trojans —- commit.
The four-star linebacker also considered UCLA and Notre Dame, but USC won the day over their rivals by completing the Mater Dei trifecta; Quarterback JT Daniels, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and Tuliaupupu will all be Trojans.
The Skinny
Tuliaupupu is a 6-foot-2, 220 inside linebacker who looked right at home wearing the No. 55 jersey during his official visit at the end of January.
He also took visits to Notre Dame, UCLA and Hawaii, but considering the Mater Dei connection, USC seemed to have an advantage going into the final stretch of recruiting.
