5-star DT Faatui Tuitele picks up Texas offer following weekend visit

Elite Honolulu (Hawaii) St. Louis defensive tackle Faatui Tuitele arrived in Austin for his weekend visit and left with an offer from the Texas Longhorns.

A five-star prospect ranked as the nation’s No. 2 overall defensive tackle, it was previously reported that Tuitele already held a Texas offer, but possibly never reported it and perhaps waited for the offer to become official during his time on the Forty Acres.

In any case, as of Saturday afternoon, Tuitele is officially on the Longhorns radar, with his Texas offer joining 35 other offers, including invitations from USC, UCLA, Washington, Clemson, Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, LSU and Oklahoma, among numerous others.
