Samoan gentleman sleeve tattoo is complete. Before beginning this rite of passage, my dad spoke with me about the responsibility and meaning behind it. This tattoo represents culture, heritage, and identity.

Grateful for the experience and the journey. Huge thank you to Phats at Xodus Tattoo

Thank you to all college coaches who reached out today. Part of my decision to accept an academic scholarship to UofU is so I can stay close to home for college. It’s important to me to be close to family. I will continue to train hard this year in case I try out for football.

[Coach Manu @CoachManuT]

Proud of you son!

[Niko Taeoali'i @nikotaeoalii]

After a lot of thought and careful consideration of my goals both on and off the field, I’ve decided to focus on my academic future and accept an Academic Scholarship to the University of Utah, where I will study Computer Science in the College of Engineering.
I will continue training and staying ready in case I decide to try out for college football next season.
I’m extremely grateful to all the college coaches who believed in me, reached out, gave me great advice/feedback, offered me opportunity to play football this fall.
Thank you to my family for your support.
