Position: Athlete
Size: 6-4, 200
High school: Leone High, Pago Pago, American Samoa
Rankings: 4-star (Rivals); 3-star (ESPN)
Other schools: Oregon, Oregon State, Utah
Info: The top recruit this year out of the American Samoa, Falaniko played high school football at Leone High in Pago Pago, the capital of the U.S. territory. He participated in the Polynesian Bowl in Hawaii in January.
Outlook: Falaniko has the potential to play outside linebacker and safety in coordinator Clancy Pendergast’s defense. The Trojans, though, return most of their starters in the secondary and at linebacker, leaving playing time scarce.
