LB Junior Fiaui Signs LOI

Star Advertiser wrote:Zoram Petelo of Layton (Utah) Christian Academy and Junior Fiaui of Saint Francis High in Mountain View, Calif., also will sign letters of intent on Wednesday.

Petelo, who is 6 feet 4 and 230 pounds, projects as a rush end or outside linebacker. Fiaui, who is 6-3 and 205 pounds, is expected to compete as a will linebacker.
Star Advertiser wrote:Fiaui was a strong safety this year, often moving up as a run defender in the box. “I’m used to being a linebacker,” Fiaui said.

Fiaui said he began playing organized sports when he was 7, first in football and then in rugby “as a way of helping with tackling.”

Ray Hisatake, a former UH offensive lineman who works and coaches at Saint Francis, said Fiaui will be a positive addition to his alma mater.

“He’s a great kid who’s going to work hard, and has his best football ahead of him,” Hisatake said. “Football-wise, he has such a strong upside. His frame alone, I think he has so much potential. But as a person, that’s what really separates him. He’s a great kid who’s going to work hard. And he’s not a ‘me’ guy. If you ask him to play tight end, even if he never played that position, he’d say, ‘I’ll do it.’ That’s the kind of kid he is. He’s going to contribute to the Warriors.”

It's good that all the greyshirts like Fiaui are here for spring practice. While it's not clear what defensive scheme Thurman will have and how many LBs are needed, I think the LB room is a little thin and Fiaui may contribute early.
