Name to Keep an Eye On: Mika Tafua

He committed to BYU over UW in the 2015 class, went on a mission at the end of August of 2015 and will be returning this August. His mission was in Tacoma.

Would not surprise me if he ends up at Washington, it's just what I'm hearing. Heard it here first, unless I'm wrong.

Here are his Junior highlights, he's a BUCK if his weight is under control...

Film looks good. Any idea what his measurables are now? Do LDS kids usually keep in good shape during their cultist conversion quests?
 
I thought they made a rule a few years ago that you have to go back to the school you committed to after your mission.
 
He did not attend BYU before his mission, so he is a free agent a year after signing his NLI. If he had enrolled he'd be off limits to other schools.

Not likely. But my one homie said poly kids on missions are the biggest rule breakers and that the poly's he went on a mission with were in golds gym everyday, and are now in the NFL. I would venture this also depends on where they go.
 
3 star by most of the services, 4 star on ESPN.

Looks like Roof crystal balled him to UW back in 2015.

I like having a kid two years older in the system. Seems like he might help our chances of getting Lolohei to stick poast mission.

Get em.
 
If he came here and indeed was a BUCK, that's some serious abundance of youth at the OLB spots.

Given how big Joe Tryon has been looking... makes me wonder if we can throw him on the Shane Bowman vitamin pack regime and move him to the DL. A Lars tweet from a like a month back had him already over 250...

He does not have a big botty like Gaye to play interior. I think he will be an amazing buck.
 
Gaye just put a video on his instagram story yesterday in the dorms, so I guess he's enrolling now?
