Four years after being given his first assistant coach role by the Bruins in 2012, Tuiasosopo is back in Westwood as Mora enters Year 5, according to 247Sports’s Ryan Bartow.

The move coincides with UCLA’s internal promotion of former USC assistant Kennedy Polamalu to offensive coordinator, as Noel Mazzone left for Texas A&M earlier in the week.

Tuiasosopo’s departure is a key one for the Trojans, as they’ll lose out on a critically acclaimed recruiter with strong ties in the Polynesian community.
