LB Palaie Gaoteote (Official Thread)



EDIT: Palaie's younger brother, Ma'a (.9318 rating, #154 overall prospect), has been committed to Southern Cal since February 27, 2018. After Palaie entered the transfer portal, there were eight quick crystal ball flips for Ma'a, from Southern Cal to Michigan State. Ma'a would be a great pick up for Sparty; adding Palaie as well would be a real coup for Mel Tucker.

Gaoteote, who was one of the top linebacker recruits in the country coming out of Bishop Gorman High School (Las Vegas, NV), originally committed to the Trojans in the 2018 recruiting cycle.
