Hagan recruiting. As I watched the film, I fell in love with this prospect. Football player.
 
Damn...because of the hair I can't help but think Troy Polamalu. Looked really good running the ball

Definitely a football player. Appears to be a bit of a tweener, but no denying the kid has a feel for how to make guys miss, and doesn't shy from contact.

I like this kid, and see him as RB. You said Borghi is RB all the way. Toa is slightly taller and thicker...why do you see him as a tweener?

I also see him as a RB. I think we're looking at a change on offense to having more of a power back as an up-back in a 2 back set. Bisharat this year to complement Lindsay and a guy like Taua coming in with Borghi. I don't think we'll be recruiting H-Back type TEs any more (this replaces it and gives a lot more versatility), but will stick to Y TEs (hand on the ground guys who can split out to the slot but won't try to do fullback type stuff).
 
I don't think he's as fast as Borghi. And I also saw athletic fullback.
He's definitely not as fast as Borghi. To me, he seems like BB 2.0. If they are moving to a 2 back system, with one being more in a power back mold as nik suggested, then looks like a good pairing with Borghi. I don't see him as a full time RB in the PAC 12 though.

RB all the way, he's the whole package. And he runs violently! Really like that.

He has really good foot work. Very physical kid, gets downhill quickly. If he doesn't run by ya, he's certainly not afraid to go through ya. I lol'd at some of his blocks, geez man. Dude is a football player for sure. Love to have him.
