Coach Choate on Tuiasosopo“Taylor is a big road grader. This guy was the MVP of the Polynesian All-America game. You can see the caliber of talent he was playing against in that game. He was selected that high. We got him identified early in the process, he stuck with us, committed after his visit. His dad Titus played alongside Tony Boselli at USC and was a teammate of Junior Seau. The Tuiasosopo family is practically football royalty.”

Story on Tuiasosopo’s commitment: Coming soon.
