Oak Hills class of 2024 offensive lineman Paki Finau Paki Finau 6'5" | 265 lbs | OL Oak Hills | 2024 State CA announced he is transferring from Washington.

Finau early enrolled at Washington in early January, but when coach Kalen DeBoer left the school for Alabama, Finau joined other teammates in the transfer portal.

He told Greg Biggins of 247Sports that he hasn’t ruled out staying at Washington because he has a positive relationship with the new coaching staff. Finau ideally wants to play for offensive line coach Scott Huff.

Highly-touted Oak Hills offensive lineman Paki Finau Paki Finau 6'5" | 265 lbs | OL Oak Hills | 2024 State CA announced his commitment to Washington on Monday.

Finau chose Washington over 25 other schools that offered him. He took visits to Arizona, Penn State and Utah in addition to Washington.

He is the third player in Washington’s 2024 recruiting class and the first from California.

Finau impressed me the most during the agility and individual drills on Sunday.

He won most of his reps Sunday except for the ones against the top defensive lineman of the event. His quickness is very good and he has the speed to keep up with fast edge rushers.

Finau has shown excellent year over year improvement and it has shown in his performance at camps/showcases this offseason and in his recruiting. Since June he’s collected five power 5 offers bringing his total to nine including programs such as Oregon, Washington, and Arizona State. At 6’5” 260 lbs. he’s a mobile finisher with a huge upside as he continues to develop mature. He flashes plus natural strength with a good wide base at the POA but is always under control and in balance through contact. Really brings his feet and hips to overpower opponents. Flashes good mobility and foot speed executing different blocks in space and working to second level defenders. A high IQ offensive lineman that is patient and can counter opponents moves with good instincts and technique. Massive upside for the power 5 level with his well-rounded skillset and size.
