Top plays from Oregon's top defensive recruit, who this week flipped his college choice to USC.

The Pac-12 recruiting wars continue to rage.

According to 247Sports, Marlon Tuipulotu, a 5-star defensive tackle from Central (Independence, Ore.), has changed his commitment from Washington to USC.

Ranked the 60th top recruit in the country overall and the No. 5 defensive tackle, Tuipulotu has 15 offers but at this point visited just two schools, Washington and USC.

The 6-foot-3, 293-pounder will join another West Coast defensive player who flipped from a Pac-12 program. Defensive back Je'quari Godfrey, a 4-star standout from Bishop O'Dowd (Oakland, Calif.), flipped from Cal last week.

USC has 18 recruits and is looking to finish among the top 10 recruiting classes for a fourth straight year.
