Overview

  • Salesi Moa announced his commitment live during the Polynesian Bowl on Friday night in Honolulu.
  • He entered the portal on Jan. 12 with a “do not contact” tag after briefly enrolling at Utah, as the NCAA’s January window closed on Jan. 16.
  • Sources and Moa’s own comments cite ties to new Michigan coach Kyle Whittingham and assistants Jason Beck and Micah Simon, with his uncle Lewis Powell also on staff.
  • Moa says he will start at wide receiver with packages at safety; he was a top-50 2026 prospect who posted 63 catches for 1,272 yards and 16 TDs as a senior.
  • On Saturday, linebacker Aisea Moa — Salesi’s older brother — also committed to Michigan, and Utah AD Mark Harlan’s post noting Salesi’s brief time in class drew broad attention on X.
