Tu'ikolovatu had also been considering Nebraska and Alabama as other possible transfer destinations. Taking advantage of the NCAA graduate transfer rules, Tu'ikolovatu will be eligible to play immediately for the Trojans next season.
The news Tu'okolovatu is transferring from Utah is not new, as the school announced he would be leaving the program back in May. The word is he was searching for more playing time and many had linked him to Nebraska, since they are in need of some additional defensive line depth.
