Red Five Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Looks like a Valentine type build. He would be a welcome addition until the pups are fully up to speed. Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Sounds like Utah DT Stevie Tu'ikolovatu is in Lincoln right now. Co-led the Pac-12 last year for most fumble recoveries. This one led to a fat man TD. 3 Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 From his bio, his uncle is former NFL DT Sione Pouha. He played for the Jets between 2005 and 2012. Wonder if he may know Parrella? Quote Link to comment

Red Five Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Visiting USC/Bama before deciding. Well this makes me less hopeful. 2 Quote Link to comment
HuskerJax Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Visiting USC/Bama before deciding. Well this makes me less hopeful. With only one year of eligibility, I'm sure the depth chart will be a big factor. I would have to think that Alabama and usc have more depth than us at DT. Just guessing, too tired to do the research Quote Link to comment

Just guessing, too tired to do the research I don't think you even have to. If he comes to Nebraska, he's in the rotation, possibly even a starter on Day 1. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 He apparently played a lot but only started two games for Utah last year. Sounds like he's transferring because he was second-string in Utah after spring ball. Not implying anything, just saying he wasn't going to start there so wants to find some place else where he might. Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 I highly doubt anyone can offer him the depth chart we can day 1. He's a different build than any other DT we have. Minny, Wisky, Iowa would be counted on big time. Quote Link to comment
DrunkOffPunch Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 If we do indeed get him and he has a great year, it could do wonders for us recruiting Polynesian players the staff has seemingly tried to get. 2 Quote Link to comment
cm husker Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Watched a little tape; he looks like he has solid feet for a guy his size. Hope he thinks NU is the right fit for the change he's looking for. 2 Quote Link to comment

Well, if he can at least provide experienced depth at the DT spot, like Kevin Williams was going to do, that will help. Btw, his numbers look better than William's last year. Quote Link to comment
