The transfer rumors began a few weeks ago when Uona was seen hanging with the BYU coaches/team at the Las Vegas Bowl. Now it's been made official with SC granting his release from the program.
Uona originally committed to BYU in 2008 before making a late-switch to SC right before signing day. Uona is a mormon, so I'd imagine it played a major part in his decision to go to BYU.
Uona showed flashes of potential at times but always remained behind Chris Galippo on the depth chart. With his departure, the MLB position becomes dangerously thin. Expect SC to pick up at least 2 linebacker recruits this class.
