Four-Star Safety Faletau Satuala Commits to BYU at the All-American Bowl
On Saturday, four-star safety Faletau Satuala committed to BYU at the All-American Bowl. Satuala picked BYU over finalists Utah and UCLA. He also picked up offers from USC, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Arizona, Arizona State, Washington State, Oregon State, and Utah State during the process.
Faletau played on both sides of the ball at Bountiful High School. He projects as a linebacker or a safety at the next level, but he is talented enough to play some wide receiver or tight end. Satuala has been a priority target for BYU defensive coordinator Jay Hill since he arrived on campus. He will start out on the defensive side but he hopes to find some opportunities on offense as well.
Satuala, who is listed at 6'3 and 200 pounds, is ranked as the second best recruit in the state according to 247Sports and the 18th best safety in the country. He has been a standout performer this week in the practices for the All-American game. He is talented enough to factor into the rotation at either safety or linebacker as soon as he gets on campus.
Satuala is one of the crown jewels of BYU's recruiting class and he represents the type of recruiting win that BYU will need to win a Big 12 championship. He's also part of an excellent finish to BYU's recruiting class on the defensive side of the ball. Jay Hill and staff have put together arguably the best finish to a recruiting class in program history. He intends to play right away, so he could make an impact as early as the 2024 season.
