Moala can bench 495 pounds, which is rather impressive for a high school junior. But he is aiming to hit 500, which, he says…”I’m super close. I try to add two 2.5 pounds to equal 500 but I can’t quite get it up. I get it half way but I can’t extend and lock out my elbows.”

- Scout

Moala just picked up a Vol offer. He also holds offers from USC, Bama, Florida, LSU, Miami, Cal, UCLA, etc.

He is one of the premiere DTs in the country. On Scout, he is a 5star and the #4 DT. He is on the Rivals250 watch list.

Could he play NT?

Do we have any reason to be hopeful about pulling this guy?

Yeah I was wondering that too. Seems like Ed would be all over this guy...

Looks like we got to the party too late on this one. No need to get any hopes up on this kid imo.

I would be surprised if he doesn't end up at Cal ...

Interestingly enough he has talked about Bama a bit so they're in 3rd in the pecking order with Cal and SC holding down the top two positions.

The kid loves the Cal D-line coach/recruiter Tosh Lupoi and he's continually expressed interest in Cal's rugby program. (They've won 21 of the last 25 championsionships).

Personally I think he's not only the #1 DT in the 2011 class but the #1 guy overall.

Alabama is after him very hard for the NG spot in our 3-4 defense. It will be a tough pull, getting him from USC or Cal.

Thank you for repeating exactly what the guy above you said with an Alabama spin...

In the long run, look for USC sealing his signature on NSD.

Is he related to Vei?

or Fili?

Would be very suprised if he ends up at USC. While Orgeron is one of the best Lupoi is an upcoming superstar recruiter. Plus he's big on his family being able to see his games ...

Of course it's recruiting so nothing can be ruled out but Cal should be in the drivers seat on this one.

He's not related to Fili.

His name is Villiami but he gioes by Vei
