"A 6-foot-2, 185-pound recruit from Ogden, Utah, Moa entered the transfer portal under a "do not contact" tag on Monday, five weeks after he flipped his pledge from Tennessee to Utah and signed with the program on Dec. 3. Moa, who announced his commitment in Honolulu during the 2026 Polynesian Bowl, lands with the Wolverines and former Utes coach Kyle Whittingham as the third-ranked member in Michigan's 2026 recruiting class."
"According to sources close to Moa's recruitment, Whittingham's Dec. 12 exit from Utah -- one week after the early period closed on Dec. 5 -- and subsequent staff changes under new coach Morgan Scalley were key drivers behind Moa's decision to enter the transfer portal earlier this week. Whittingham, the Utes' all-time winningest coach, won 177 games across 21 seasons in charge of Utah from 2005-25. He signed a five-year deal to take over the Wolverines on Dec. 26,"
Salesi Moa, ranked ESPN's No. 6 wide receiver and No. 38 overall in the 2026 class, will sign with Michigan after entering the transfer portal. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound recruit from Ogden entered the portal under a "do not contact" tag five weeks after flipping his pledge from Tennessee to Utah and signing on Dec. 3. Kyle Whittingham's Dec. 12 exit from Utah and subsequent staff changes under new coach Morgan Scalley influenced Moa's decision. Moa limited contact to staffs previously involved in his recruitment and reunites with Whittingham and ex-Utes offensive coordinator Jason Beck. Moa had 63 catches for 1,272 yards and 16 touchdowns during his senior season at Fremont High School.
