This should be one to watch closely for Michigan fans as Kyle Whittingham and the new staff is close with Moa and his older brother, a former MSU LB, who could transfer to Michigan. Lewis Powell, Michigan’s DL coach, is also related to Salesi.

Moa was ranked as the No. 1 athlete in the country and a top 50 recruit.
