Just before the start of fall training camp, OSU added a commitment from Tyler Junior College defensive tackle Latu Maile — the younger brother of former OSU defensive tackle Mote.
Latu fills a need at the position after 2017 signee Fua Leilua backed away from the program, and although he’s a late addition for 2017, he’s already in Stillwater preparing for the season in fall training camp.
We caught up with his defensive line coach from Tyler, Alex Wierzbicki, who gave a scouting report on what to expect from the younger Maile as he prepares for his Division I journey.
