Toia entered the transfer portal on May 24, after spending a few short months on USC's campus. He participated in spring camp and had a stellar rookie debut.
Toia admitted that the COVID-19 pandemic played a heavy role in his decision to transfer out of USC. In a social media post he wrote:
“The 2020 pandemic was tragic to so many that lost so much. For me, and especially my parents, we felt forced to make a major decision signing with USC based on limited information because of COVID-19 restrictions. We were not able to take any official or unofficial visits to any of the other schools on our short list such as Michigan, Utah, UCLA, Miami, among others. I as well as my family are truly thankful for the USC staff and students for all the support this past semester.”
