The junior college outside linebacker, though, couldn’t help but be impressed by what he saw during his official visit to Nebraska this weekend.
Fonua, a 6-foot-4, 255-pounder currently at Mesa (Ariz.) Community College, made the trip with his brother and said he interacted most with outside linebackers coach Jovan Dewitt and running backs coach Ryan Held.
“Those coaches are amazing – two of the best coaches I’ve ever talked to and it was great to actually get to know them,” said Fonua who in nine games for Mesa C.C. had 51 tackles (16.5 for loss) and a half sack.
