Despite addressing the issue in the class of 2018, the never ending saga of the Washington Football team‘s need for defensive tackles continues into the 2019 class. We know that the 2018 recruiting class did include two huge additions in the welcome arrival of defensive tackle Tuli Letuligasenoa and the incredibly versatile offensive guard/defensive tackle Sam Taimani. But the team did not land defensive tackle Tommy Togiai in 2018. So recruiting for the position has had its ups and downs. But as 2019 defensive tackle recruit Matthew Pola Mao named UW among his top six universities, the winter freeze on defensive interior linement may be warming to a spring thaw.
