News is coming out that former BYU Safety Shiloah Te'o is going to enroll at the University of Washington in March. This is a really good get for the Huskies. He was on the 2-deep roster for BYU as a true freshman and sophomore, lettering both years. He will redshirt next season, and then have two years of eligibility.
Before heading to BYU, he was A 2007 Honolulu Star-Bulletin and Honolulu Advertiser First-Team All-State selection as both a junior and senior. He was also named the Oahu Interscholastic Association Red East Division Defensive Player of the Year and ranked as the 4th best prospect in the state of Hawaii by Rivals.com.
Here is a highlight video
He was kicked off of the BYU football team after being arrested for a DUI.
A lot of BYU fans and insiders were dismayed at his loss, because he was seen to be a great athlete who had the ability to cover a lot of ground in the secondary, and who played with a real mean streak.
Before his sophomore season he took the time to head to a specialty training center to prepare him to be a better athlete, here are the results:
All in all, we should be pretty happy with this get. Our defensive backfield has been the subject of a lot of criticism, hopefully this is a step in the right direction.
