He joins his three cousins that are currently on Utah’s roster. Hauati and Fua was on the 2019 team on the defensive line. Also, Taniela signed with the Utes on the same day as Tennessee.
It runs in the family.
That’s FOUR Pututaus on the Utah roster, for those keeping track at home. 💪@hpututau41 @Fua_pu2tau @Pu2tau @Taniela_5
