Itete committed to USC in early June, and less than two months later, he will no longer stay in California. 

According to multiple reports, including college football insider Gregg Biggins, he predicts that the four-star OL will be heading down south and join the Florida State Seminoles. 

Itete is a mountain of a human being standing at 6'5", 290 pounds. 247Sports has him as the number 12 tackle, 15th in California and 142 nationally. 

It's a tough loss, but we wish him the best in his next journey.
