Takafua added a D-II offer from Missouri Southern this month. The massive 6’1″/310 senior transferred in from Hawaii this offseason and is quickly establishing himself as one of Nevada’s most disruptive defensive tackles. He’s a strong, powerful defender that’s violent in dealing with blockers and is a highly effective run stopper. Takafua holds another D-II offer from Minot St.

Takafua cracked the top-40 after transferring in to Sloan Canyon from Hawaii this offseason. He’s a big, powerful force on both sides of the ball that can dominate the trenches with the natural size and strength he possesses. He controls defenders with his hands and can move interior DL off the ball on the offensive side of the ball and shows good lateral range from his DT spot. Moves well for his size and shows some promising technique as a rusher. Takafua is firmly on the radar as one of the top OL/DL prospects to watch in the fall.
