As a native of Salt Lake City, Utah, he arrived as a four-star linebacker in Alabama’s 2018 signing class. Latu transitioned from linebacker to tight end and totaled a single-season school record for touchdown receptions (eight) for a player at his position last year. The 6-foot-5, 244-pounder has an opportunity to be a high round NFL Draft pick if he produces marquee numbers this fall.

Latu recently signed an NIL deal with Levi’s clothing. He announced the news Thursday via Instagram.
