This is the kid I mentioned a couple of years ago. He missed most of last year due to injury but sill ended up on the all state team. He is a game changer and doesn't seem "fall" for the misdirection plays. He also has pretty good speed (I would put money on him in a race vs Manti).
He LOVES BYU and I so stoked for him and his family! He is the one that used to run over to Shilo's house to see Doman and Bronco every time they came to town.
As far as football goes the kid started at Kahuku since 10th grade, and Kahuku always has stud LB's so that really speaks of his ability to make plays. I know his dad and they are such a solid family and I know the day he runs out of the tunnel will be one of his dad's proudest days (but behind the day he leaves for and the day he gets home from his mission).
Funny story his dad shared with me, when Ku-J was a sixth or seventh grader he was playing in a tackle football game with older kids that included kids like Tigi Hill. His dad saw a paper tucked into his belt. He called him over and pulled it out. It was a list of names (including his cousin Tigi's name). It was a "hit" list for the game! He went after those kids who were way bigger than him. His dad told the kids about the list but Ku-J didn't back down and still put some nice licks on the other kids.
An all around great kid from a really great family.
He is cousin's with Sea Tautu another LB at BYU (maybe on his mission now).
imuakahuku, thanks for the inside info. Sounds like a solid kid and can't wait to see him play at BYU.Statistics: Posted by BroncoBot — Thu Jun 21, 2012 7:19 pm
