New Commit Tapu N

Lucky for us, he seems to be pretty clear and consistent in his decision-making
I'm going to take a pretty cynical look at the current landscape of college football and say that more and more Mormon athletes will choose to delay missions and the Mormon church will have absolutely no problem with it as long as they are donating a significant portion of any NIL they receive to said church.

Honestly think a commitment from a guy going on a mission is just about worthless. My cousin was going to play D1-AA and then enrolled somewhere completely different and never played a down. I would be really curious what the actual realization rate is between what school a guy commits to and where he actually ends up playing (if he plays). I knew some guys who invested in a bench and weights and were able to maintain muscle mass since you have dedicated work out time, but for a lot of people, 2 years off without a strength training program can really impact a career.

And they’ll likely require the successful football players to soak more often with athletic females.
 
Been eating my weight (a lot) in Maine lobster the past few days. I thought he was a beaver?

Make sure you donate it all so those pastors can build huge mansions. It’s for the Lord.

Biggest human I’ve ever seen. He was on the field with all Americans and was still far bigger than anyone there by a mile. Just massive
I remember seeing him on campus with 2 teammates. from a distance I thought it was an OL walking next to a couple LBs

nope, it was just Fonoti with 2 other starting OL

He came back for a spring game when he was playing for the chargers. Standing next to him at the Rail. His head was as big as my torso.

Found this from an old ESPN article:

ESPN The Magazine: Rock Star

ESPN The Magazine
Welcome to a defensive tackle’s nightmare. Hunkering down into his three-point stance, DT Ryan Gillenwater flexes his fingertips into the spongy carpet, fully prepared to defend Baylor’s home turf against the rampaging visitors from Nebraska. Gillenwater slowly raises his head. Then his eyes bulge and his heart skips.
Day-yamn! Look at the size of this guy’s friggin’ face. Sitting on a huge torso on the other side of the line is a melon that looks like it’s about to burst through the thin red bars that bind it. Gillenwater blinks away the disbelief, regains his composure and glares at the ball, watching for the snap. But when it comes, Gillenwater, a mere waif at 263 pounds, is lost before he can even react. A huge flash of red crashes into his chest like a fire truck, sending him flying from the line. And as Gillenwater lies on the turf, his senses scrambled, a deep menacing belly laugh draws him back to reality. Welcome to the world of Toniu Fonoti.
To his opponents, Nebraska’s 6'4", 363-pound guard doesn’t even appear human. He’s more like a rhino with a goatee. His head is as big as a beer keg; his calves are Virginia Hams. And the rhino part? Milt Tenopir, the Huskers’ crusty OL coach, has seen his linemen collect six of Nebraska’s record eight Outland Trophies, and says Toniu (ta-NOO) is the school’s best ever. “His level of intensity is overpowering,” says Tenopir.
