After taking an official visit to UW this past weekend, Coach Kaufusi and the Husky staff has landed a commitment from Utah DL transfer Simote Pepa.
Pepa was originally part of the 2019 recruiting class and chose Utah over many other Pac-12 schools. After signing, he took a two year LDS mission and enrolled at Utah for the 2021 season. In the 2022 season Pepa showed off his potential with 27 tackles, 4 sacks, 6 TFL, and 2 PD. Unfortunately, Pepa has had his career derailed by injuries. He hasn’t been healthy for a full season which has hampered his production.
