Kahuku quarterback Tuli Wily-Matagi is preparing himself for life after high school, but it sounds like he may be considering a different destination.
The 6-foot-3, 235-pound senior is an early commit to Utah. In the fall, Wily-Matagi said Utah was looking at him as a tight end. Lately, however, he reportedly is being groomed to play defensive end by the Utes.
Scout.com reported on Monday that Wily-Matagi enjoyed a recent trip to Colorado, and that Washington State and Wisconsin are also possibilities. He visited Colorado along with Kamehameha standout Mika Tafua.
A visit to WSU is coming next. In the Scout.com story, Wily-Matagi noted that his mother lives in Washington.
The connection to Wisconsin is former Baldwin head coach Chad Kauha’aha’a, who is in his second year as defensive line coach.
Awesome! thank you Mr Matagi for your leadership and example in big red country we support you and wish you and your moms the best in your future. My boys will never forget the great person you were on and off the field! RR4L
