Viliami Moala Commits to Oregon Ducks

Defensive lineman Viliami Moala has officially flipped his commitment from USC to the Oregon Ducks following USC's recent loss to Penn State, marking a significant shift in the 2026 recruiting landscape. Moala, a 6-foot-3, 305-pound recruit, is rated as a four-star prospect and ranks among the top defensive linemen in the nation. His commitment comes on the heels of Oregon's victory over Ohio State, solidifying their position as the top-ranked recruiting class for 2026. Oregon's class has now grown to seven commitments, bolstered by the recent addition of four-star defensive lineman Tomuhini Topui. Moala expressed gratitude towards his family and faith in his de-commitment announcement, highlighting the personal nature of his decision. This transition reflects a broader trend as Oregon continues to attract high-profile recruits under coach Dan Lanning.
