He has a strong build, contact balance and elusiveness through the hole while able to shake off tacklers and get vertical quickly. He does a tremendous job running behind his pads with natural forward lean, leg drive through contact and bounces off tacklers in space while willing to gain the tough yards inside and read his blocks well in tight spaces. He should go well over the 1,200 yard mark as a sophomore and have another very productive season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/AnthonyE96625/status/2020741973448196274?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/AnthonyE96625/status/2020741973448196274?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Samuelu Faumuina","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"280","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"St. John Bosco","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69cbe6d24015f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Faumuina is going to be a national recruit and 20+ offer guy by the time it's all said and done, and is a violent defender with elite technique for the trenches and is extremely powerful at the point of attack. He is explosive, snaps out of his stance with heavy hands, fluid hips at the top of his rush and can provide a interior pass rush while overpowering blockers on his way to the quarterback. He is a elite pass rusher with the tools necessary already and a very fluid mover for his size that is already one of the best in the Trinity League as only a freshman. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/SevenFaumuina/status/2030820935511711760?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/SevenFaumuina/status/2030820935511711760?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2065947"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69cbe6d2401d6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Valencia product is one of the top passers in the 2029 class across southern California and is a very accurate signal caller that can get the ball out quick and process very well for his age. He has a quick release, can buy time with his legs in the pocket and seems very comfortable both in and out of the pocket under pressure. He has the frame to continue adding weight and already has a strong arm for his age and proper throwing mechanics heading into his second season. On tape, he shows he ca fit the ball into tight windows, throws accurately on the deep ball with touch and velocity and knows when to put touch and zip on the ball with closing defenders. Look for him to have a breakout year in 2026 and be a key '29 signal caller to watch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/EvanMcCalister/status/1988887514053243192?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/EvanMcCalister/status/1988887514053243192?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2116083"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69cbe6d240227"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Noa is a very active linebacker with tremendous instincts and is seemingly always around the football making plays. He triggers quickly up the middle, packs a punch at the point of attack and can quickly knife into the backfield with bend, use of hands and closing speed. Only a Freshman and seeing time on varsity for a loaded roster was impressive to see and he is well on his way to becoming one of the regions top at the position and is poised for a huge Sophomore season for the Pacers. He has racked up offers from SDSU and Cal and should see a slew of others come in over the next 12 months. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Sekope1391/status/1992346005774508294?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Sekope1391/status/1992346005774508294?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
