Alphonzo Tuputala, 3* 2019 LB, Federal Way (HS), WA (COMMITTED)

What the fuck are you idiots bitching about? This kid is a beast. Does not matter if he plays ILB or Buck/Sam for UW, this is a really good pickup. His speed at his size is impressive and he's a violent hitter. Wherever they play him, I guarantee you he will turn heads early in his career. I think he will be a dynamic edge defender.
 
This kid could play MIK, SAM, BUCK or even 3-Tech for us. I love him. Absolute beast.

He's not a sure thing like Danny Hammers, but holy god is he good.

When I watch film of a LB prospect, I want it to look like this. Jackson Sirmon's was the same way. Regardless of their recruiting ranking, guys with film like this are likely to be solid contributors, at a bare minimum.

Exactly... that big thick bottom half, consistent solid contact and light on his feet. Also when guys run into him, they look like they hit a brick wall.
 
Tuputala is insane. Him and Calvert are the most similar. Ah Yu even tho smaller reminds me of more of an outside guy. Danny Hammer can play wherever the fuck he wants to. But isn’t it nice to just stack talent and figure it out later in case some get injured or have things happen in their lives like we all do? Isn’t it nice where the back ends are still really talented and can play special teams and rotate in case god forbid something we’re to happen to players at a very physical position instead of being one BBK targeting call, a Wellington injury, and Tevis being back st SAM from having to start Jake Wambaugh and Kyler Manu?

Does he have the quick burst and sideline-to-sideline speed to play BUCK?

He plays inside linebacker in high school and plays it well and your asking if he has enough speed to basically play DE? Yes, he has enough speed. Just because he's big and he's Poly does not mean he's the next Benning.

I think you're reading too much into my question to DDY. BUCK and DE are different positions. Kikaha was Poly, but he was also elusive and could run.

Just say, "yes, he can play BUCK."

Taking out carbs while on gear would just make you movie star lean, it wouldn't give you that thick look.

Sorry, quote from Roscoe Jenkins.

30 second mark. Just found it funny. I think of it whenever I see a football player with a thick base.

Not my cup of tea but I don't judge and I'll take your word for it.

A not so subtle reminder to leave the coffee cup.

I think that shirt is sending a message to the UW coffee cup deliverers.
