At 6-foot-3 and 270 pounds, Saint Louis sophomore defensive lineman Faatui Tuitele is setting himself up to be the most sought after Hawaii high school football player in the class of 2019.
Tuitele landed his fourth offer already on Wednesday from the SEC. He tweeted the news.

Ole Miss joins Hawaii, Brigham Young and USC as schools to already offer Tuitele, who had a monster game in Saint Louis’ 30-14 win over Kahuku to win the Open Division state championship two weeks ago.
Tuitele had a game-high 11 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble against a rugged offensive line, and in the process held Kahuku to a season-low in scoring against a Hawaii opponent.
EDIT 12/1, 8:15 p.m.: Tuitele added his fifth offer — and second from the SEC — on Thursday from Vanderbilt.

Where did St Louis recruit this guy from?
LOL been here since 6th gr Unko!
Directly from Samoa. The Lee’s have a pipeline from connections during JJ Era at UH. private schools have the expense to do international recruiting. Bishop Gorman does it via 12 western states. Dam how can you compete against $$$$$$. But yes the kid is great. Lc8
