Brandon Magee remembers Salamo Fiso as a freshman. This was back in 2012, during coach Todd Graham's first year at Arizona State. Magee was a senior linebacker, and here was this hard-hitting newcomer from Long Beach Poly High trying to get noticed.
"He always had a very strong punch when we were hitting the bag drills and he was always very aggressive, it's just sometimes he would go the wrong way.'' Magee said, laughing. "But I knew right off the bat with his mentality and his work ethic that he was going to be a great linebacker."
Three years later, Fiso has reached that point.
