Sio Nofoagatoto'a IU Grad Transfer DT as A Miami Prospect

[Paranos]

Indiana Nose Tackle Sio Nofoagatoto'a recently entered the transfer portal as a grad transfer. In 2021 the 6'3 320lb nose tackle was named to the polynesian player of the year watch list ( yes there is a Coach Joe Salave'a connection there as well)

In 2022 he started 10 games the Hoosier totaling 18Tkl as a nose tackle primarily drawing double teams. (Justin Rogers from UK was a much better dline transfer prospect, but at this point the transfer portal is getting bare). Given UM'S need for an added big bodied DT, Sio could be a serviceable option. Not to mention an Sio could be an added bonus in helping with Polynesian recruiting for the 2024 class.

Indiana highlights with some Sr year 2022 included.



He also appears to be a team / locker room culture guy which Coach Cristobal wants establish at UM.



Displaying some grown man island strength, utilizing text book "Fork lift" technique whil playing half man.

Don’t see a downside to bringing him on. At worst, a good depth piece.

Looks like a take, IMO.

Depth piece?
He looks to have done more in those clips than our DTs did in 2022, and against better OLmen.

This is a take all day. Grown fckin man.

When did he enter the portal?

I meant it as hyperbole given the takes some have in here when we are looking at anyone that is not an All-American or 5 star.

Really wasn't taking issue with your post...agree with you.

Yep. Another problem solved.

Mario needs to move Logan Sagopolu to DT. He still have 3 years to play and is one of the strongest players on the team.

Doesn't always work that way but it's a fantastic idea if he has the measurables. (long arms, quick burst, strong base, etc).

 

[canesbaby]

I don't know how to stalk people online. Any evidence that our coaches are on it or even know who this kid is?

 

[stormsurge]

he is to cfb what haku was to barroom fights

When I first saw the title of this thread I thought that Google translate had gone wild

Doesn’t have the measurables.

 

[MasterBlaster]

This kids film is pretty good, a take for sure.

Which measurable are you referring to that Sio Nofoagatoto'a doesn't have.
