I had no idea that Ken Niumatalolo's kid will be playing linebacker for us. Interesting.

Close. Sounds like he committed to Boise State (Bronco) out of high school but both parties agreed to not sign a NLI due to him serving a mission. Got home in February and de-committed. 3* LB out of high school.

Officially getting Fitts back is awesome. We will have three DL, a LB and a S drafted next spring. Our defense is incredible.
I'd put money on Hansen, Lotulelei, Fitts and Mokofisi being drafted. I'd be surprised if Luafatasaga isn't. The last couple of games, he was a monster on our defense.
I don't see why Hansen would come back. He was incredible last year. He can play Safety or LB at the next level. He can cover, he can hit, he can do it all. It wouldn't shock me if he gets drafted higher than Williams. Williams was still drafted on potential (which sounds crazy) but Hansen will be more of a finished product.
Hansen is the evolving NFL's dream safety/LB.
Luafatasaga had 22 tackles the last two games, 18 solo. It clicked for him.
Hansen had 90 tackles, 3 INT's, 3 FF, 4 FR, 1 TD. Just a monster.
I think we see Mokofisi take it up another level next year. If Leki Fotu and/or another DT can get playing time, it would bump Moko outside and with Fitts on the other side...lol. Good luck. Five man front, with Leki as the NT, Lotulelei and Moko as the DT and Anae and Fitts outside? Yikes.
Then you have Luafatasaga and Hansen cleaning up whatever may get past that?

I can't wait to get this kid up on the hill! Welcome home, Elder!
Empey has already told people he is transferring, according to cougarboard anyway.
Yeah. I haven't seen one Utah related where anyone is giving time an even 25% chance of showing up to Utah. It's a pretty interesting situation for the kid though. Here you have a program that you committed to out of high school. One that is essentially replacing it's whole o-line, so you could have an immediate shot at playing time. A program that just put four o-linemen in the NFL, with a position coach that his players love and does a hell of a job coaching kids up. Or, sit out a year? to go play for your dad.
