Is anybody else super jacked about Tafisi? I know Kaho's the five-star and therefore everyone's drooling over him, but Tafisi looks even more explosive on film. He destroys people! Also appears to have freakishly long arms. Only knock on him was that he was going to measure in as that typical UW 5'11" linebacker. Now that the weights and measurements are official, though, and Tafisi measured in both taller and heavier than Kaho, I'm combining this information with how ridiculous his film was and officially dooging hard for this kid.
Sirmon, Tafisi, Kaho in one year was a crazy good haul. All three of those guys have high-level PAC-12 starter capability, and they compliment each other perfectly. With OLB recruiting going as it's going, one of these guys might eventually have play a bit undersized at SAM, which would, yes, make depth inside a bit thin. If Amandre Williams or Ariel Ngata can step up and hold down that SAM spot, though, I don't think the depth inside in 2019 will be all that bad. That's Beavers, Wellington, and three very talented second-year guys to fill two spots.
