Salesi Moa Picks Michigan as Brother Aisea Also Commits

Coaching ties to Kyle Whittingham drove the rapid switch.

Overview

  • Salesi Moa announced his commitment to Michigan live at the Polynesian Bowl after entering the portal days earlier with a 'do not contact' tag following a brief enrollment at Utah.
  • Moa said he will begin at wide receiver at Michigan with packages at safety, highlighting his two-way versatility after a 63-catch, 16-touchdown senior season in Utah.
  • He cited relationships with new Michigan coach Kyle Whittingham and assistants Jason Beck and Micah Simon, while noting family ties to defensive ends coach Lewis Powell, his uncle.
  • Utah athletic director Mark Harlan drew attention with a social media post noting Moa had been in Utah classes for only about a week before the public commitment elsewhere.
  • Older brother Aisea Moa committed to transfer to Michigan on Saturday, joining a broader wave of former Utah players heading to Ann Arbor alongside Whittingham.
