BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Sio Nofoagatoto'a (Nofo-onga-tuh-toe-ah) gets it. He does. Size matters in college football, and, at 6-4 and 302 pounds, Indiana's freshman defensive tackle has plenty of that.
But it's strength, explosiveness, technique and mental toughness that separate the difference makers from those who want to be, and that takes work.
Nofoagatoto'a's getting more of that than ever before these days under the direction of David Ballou (director of athletic performance) and Dr. Matt Rhea (athletic performance coach).
Could that lead to instant impact this season?
