National Signing Day always brings a few surprises, and the Cougars’ 2016 recruiting class got a nice boost within the first hour when former Juanita High linebacker Suliasi Tamaivena flipped his commitment from San Jose State to sign a National Letter of Intent with WSU.
Suliasi Tamaivena and his twin brother, Sitiveni Tamaivena are Kirkland natives who played their prep football at Juanita High, where they were part of the class of 2011. The brothers spent the last two years at Mount San Antonio (Calif.) Community College. Suliasi Tamaivena had 81 total tackles last season, including 20 tackles for loss and nine sacks.
