EL SOBRANTE, Calif. — There isn’t an ounce of hesitation for 4-star defensive tackle Jay Tufele when queried on a career path outside of football.
The 6’3”, 288-pounder from Bingham High School in South Jordan, Utah, is clearly a fan of physical contact.
“If I wasn’t playing football, I’d be playing rugby right now,” Tufele told Bleacher Report. “I’d be trying to go pro in rugby. I love that sport. I’ve been playing since I was in seventh grade.”
A handful of offensive lineman at The Opening Oakland Regional last weekend are probably wishing he would make that switch permanently.
