The Tata Brother may be one of the most successful siblings in Hawaii High School football, with 5 brothers play D1 Football:
Pulou (RB), Tasi (OL) & Silila (NT) were all members of Oregon's 1994 Rose Bowl team
Vavae (DE) played for UCLA
Tony (LB) played for Nebraska

Other Local Families with great genes and produced D1 Football Players
Noga (4) - Falaniko, Alapati, Petelo, George (UH)

Kemoeatu (4): Maake, Chris, Tevita & Benji (Utah)

Fehoko (4) - Whitley (SDSU), Sam-Earl (Texas-Tech), VJ (Utah/Texas Tech), Breiden (Texas Tech)

Maafala (4) - Benson & Nick (UH) , Roy & Chris (Utah)

Ala (3) - Tui, Jr & Houston (UH), Brandon (CAL)

Correa (3) - La'anui & Haku (UH), Kamalei (Boise St)

Aleaga (3 ??) - Link (not sure if he played D1), Ink (Washinton), Ing (Washington St)

Any others that I missed with 3 or more boys who played D1 College Football?
