LOS ANGELES -- Daniel Imatorbhebhe is officially coming to USC. The only question is when he'll be able to play.

The former Florida tight end confirmed Wednesday with TrojanSports.com he is transferring to USC this fall. The Georgia native characterized the decision to transfer as an easy one.

"This is where I always wanted to be and I got the opportunity, so I'm excited to do it," Imatorbhebhe said. "The opportunity just presented itself and I jumped all over it as soon as I could."

Imatorbhebhe will technically be a blueshirt and will count toward the Trojans' 2016 class. USC will presumably have 21 more scholarships available, given the blueshirt status of former Oklahoma tight end transfer Taylor McNamara, freshman receiver Deontay Burnett and freshman offensive lineman Clayton Johnston.

Imatorbhebhe was on campus Wednesday with his mother and younger brother Josh Imatorbhebhe, a Class of 2016 receiver also committed to USC and who was participating in the Rising Stars Camp. The elder Imatorbhebhe was quick to point out how much he enjoyed being in Los Angeles.

"It's USC," he said. "There are few places that could really stack up and compare. It's such a blessing to be out here."

Imatorbhebhe, who spent this past spring at Florida, was a four-star prospect in the Class of 2015. He says that part of the reason for his transfer was to keep his family close.

"It was just personal reasons," he said. "It was a family decision, trying to keep the family together and there was some sacrifices to be made."

He confirmed that his family is also moving to Los Angeles but wished to keep the reason behind the move private. At the same time, he made it clear how excited he is about the prospect of reuniting on the field with his brother.

"We're so close," Imatorbhebhe said. "And our last season together didn't end the way we wanted it to. It's a breath of fresh air that I can look out and see him next to me."

The two could end up making their USC debuts at the same time. As of now, the Imatorbhebhe family has not submitted a petition to the NCAA for immediate eligibility. A source said there is certainly a "legitimate" case but wasn't sure what the chances were of it being approved.

Either way, Imatorbhebhe is happy to be a Trojan.

"I'm excited," he said. "I want to get to work."
