Uiagalelei played his first three seasons at Clemson, committing to them as a 5-star pro-style quarterback out of St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower, California. He had a 6.1 Rivals rating, was the top quarterback, and third ranked recruit overall in Rivals’ rankings for the 2020 class.

When Uiagalelei transferred to Oregon State, he was coming off a season at Clemson in which he played in 13 games, going 229-370 for 22 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He really blossomed in the 2022 season, making his addition to Oregon State such a big deal. Not to mention how highly rated he was out of high school. Given that Oregon State’s conference future is up-in-the-air, it’s no surprise he’s opting to find a more solid situation. It’ll be fun to track where he ends up.
