This has to be one the Huskies’ biggest recruits ever.
Ulumoo “MJ” Ale, a 6-foot-6, 330-pound offensive lineman at Fife High, announced his commitment to Washington via Twitter on Friday night.
Born in Samoa and raised in Australia, Ale and his family moved to the Tacoma area a few years ago after his father, Ulumoo Sr., was hired for a head pastoral position Tacoma First Congregational Church, according to The News Tribune.
MJ Ale was a three-time Australian Golden Gloves heavyweight boxing champion and a high-level rugby player before being introduced to football a couple of years ago.
