Expert Analysis
Michael Huntley | Prep Redzone Scout
Lauifi was a two-way starter for a Cathedral Catholic team that won the Open Division championship in San Diego last season and plays right guard on offense. He has a great first step and is a strong guy who is violent with his hands. In pass protection, he does a good job keeping his hands on the defender and picks up blitzes well. Hawaii, New Mexico and Northern Arizona have offered him and I expect a few more offers to roll in before the season starts.

Lauifi and Faavi got an excellent push on a combo block on the game-winning touchdown run. The duo was getting good pushes inside, particularly in the second half and did a nice job bouncing to the second level.

Quick twitch guy who can play on both sides of the ball and will be very dangerous when he adds more size in the weight room.

Lauifi checks into our rankings as the number four offensive line prospect in his class, and sneaks in just inside the top 40 overall in this elite Freshmen class in California. He started his career as St. Augustine, but like many left the program after the school made a coaching change and is now at Cathedral Catholic. He provides nice position versatility along both the offensive and defensive line, and is an already violent player that plays with a high motor and uses his athleticism, short area twitch and hand usage to win at the POA. He can play on either side of the ball at the next level, and has already collected his first FBS offer from Washington State, who offered back in January.

The only Offensive Linemen I didn’t hear get yelled at during practices on the first day was Lauifi, who was a mainstay at Left Tackle for the West squad. After seeing him play at the AYF National tournament in December as a member of the San Diego All-Stars, watching him play again only reconfirmed what I already know. He has a ton of athleticism for an eight-grade prospect that likely measures in the 6-foot-1, 250-pound range, if I had to guess. The Tackles aren’t asked to do a tremendous amount in this offense, but being the Left Tackle, majority of the time you have the responsibility of protecting the Quarterback’s blindside—and he did that well.
