Fast rising DL Maa’imoa Havili commits to dream school, ‘I’m a BYU Cougar’

Salt Lake City (Utah) Granger defensive lineman Maa’imoa Havili just announced his commitment to BYU . We talked to Havili just a few days ago and he acknowledged BYU was the dream school for him but he wanted to take a few official visits first. That will no longer be case the case as Havili locked in his commitment earlier today.

“Since I was a kid, BYU was where I wanted to play,” Havili said. “This was the dream for me for a long time so to have this opportunity, I couldn’t pass it up. “I’m so thankful to the coaching staff and especially coach (Kalani) Sitake and coach Sione Pouh who offered me a scholarship.

They’re allowing me this opportunity to play football at BYU and I’m so excited right now. ” Havili said the ultimate goal for him to play in the NFL and he’s confident BYU can get him there. “I really believe they can,” Havili said.

“I think you can make the NFL anywhere you go and BYU has shown that they can produce NFL players. I know I had some big offers from big name schools but i told my parents, I don’t need a big name school, I can accomplish everything I want right here at BYU. Havili is one of the feel good stories of the off-season.
