“The former five-star linebacker has played in just two games for the Trojans this year, posting seven tackles. Gaoteote started the Trojans' first two games of the season but suffered a cut on his head in the team's win over Arizona on Nov. 14. He entered USC's concussion protocol the following day and has not suited up for the program in its two games since. At the time, USC head coach Clay Helton also noted Gaoteote had experienced a lower leg contusion in the game with the Wildcats.
One of the Trojans biggest recent recruiting wins, Gaoteote flashed quickly in Los Angeles as a freshman. He started five times that season and ended the year with 38 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss and a pair of sacks. Gaoteote became of fixture of USC's starting lineup the next year, totaling 58 tackles and three tackles for loss. However, a pair of ankle injuries limited him to just seven starts.
Gaoteote rated as the No. 1 overall inside linebacker and the No. 15 overall prospect in the 2018 class, per the 247Sports Composite. He picked USC over Ohio State.
The 6-foot-2, 250-pound graduate of Bishop Gorman High School in Nevada is currently the highest rated former recruit in the 2020-21 transfer portal.”
