Moana Ofahengaue (Salt Lake City, Utah./West) took his first official visit of the year this past weekend to Arizona. The defensive end will take just one more trip before making a decision.
Ofahengaue, a three-star prospect and the No. 3 player in Utah, is an undersized defensive end but has the frame and bloodlines to add significant weight in college. His father, Tevita Ofahengaue, played safety in high school but grew into a 250-pound tight end at BYU and was the final player drafted -- ‘Mr. Irrelevant’ if you will -- by the Arizona Cardinals in 2001.
“This visit came together real late but I’m very glad I took it,” Ofahengaue said. “They literally called me last Thursday and asked if I wanted to visit. I said I would, packed that night and flew out on Friday. I really loved it there though and had a great overall trip.
