It would be especially nice to land Faumui with the need on the interior DL.

Michigan State freshman linebacker Ma'a Gaoteote, a top-100 recruit, has entered the transfer portal.

Gaoteote recorded seven tackles and a forced fumble in eight games as a reserve for the Spartans, who went 11-2 and finished No. 9 nationally. ESPN rated the 6-foot-1, 245-pound Gaoteote as the No. 11 outside linebacker and No. 96 overall recruit in the 2021 class.

A native of Las Vegas who played at area power Bishop Gorman High School, Gaoteote was the most decorated recruit in coach Mel Tucker's first class at Michigan State. He is the younger brother of Ohio State linebacker Palaie Gaoteote IV, an ESPN top-20 recruit in the 2018 class who began his career at USC.

DT Teivis Tuioti: A 6-3, 265-pound defensive tackle from Lincoln, Neb., Tuioti was in his second season at Nevada after being a two-star recruit coming out of high school. He redshirted in 2020 and appeared in four games with two tackles in 2021. Tuioti's father, Tony, has coached at several schools, including Nebraska, Cal, Michigan, Hawaii and with the NFL's Browns.

This guys big. But when you size him up and he needs to get bigger and faster, he won't. Muscles mass. This will be hard to do. And UH coaching staff will have a hard time getting him buffed up at 300 ibs. But with muscles mass, and not fat.

His eligibility clock started in 2016 at UH (where he played both the 2016 & 2017 seasons before leaving). Accordingly, doing the math (2016 for Year 1; 2017 for Year 2; 2018 redshirt; 2019 for Year 3; 2020 & 2021 for Year 4), it would seem as though his eligibility clock expired already...unless he got some kind of eligibility waiver for 2018 or 2019 to allow him to still have 1 to play 1.
he doesn't have stats at Adams State from 19-21. I'm guessing he got injured and is receiving a medical hardship waiver.

Unfortunately for Pei, we're overstocked with safeties. We need CBs.

Even though we have numbers at S and need CBs, Latu is intriguing. He had significant playing time at Utah and is 4 to play 3. Given a choice, I'd take Latu over Pei. But we really need CBs.
