But he does look mean. And big. Two important qualities in a LB.

I wonder if he knows Manti's girlfriend.

he's had 3 ACLs and missed parts of 2 high school years and I Juco year. I think its incredible that a guy like that could make the First team All-SWJCFC team this year. I'm sure that chased off a few in high school and JUCO. But if he's truly healthy then I'm a little intrigued. I mean its not like he was offered after playing JV football as Junior and he made a quality All JUCO team. His grandfather is Big Chief on Samoa so we got that going for us.

We need all the help we can get at ILB. I'd like to see us somehow pick up an experienced DB from juco as well.

here is a good story on his career at Tyler JC with reference to his Samoan ancestry-grandfather of the Big Chief-I hope I got the right picture of big Chief

Yeah, kid might be a starter or quality back-up immediately. Coming back from three ACL's means this kid doesn't give up. Could be a quality JUCO signing.

If the SMU coaches knew where Euless Trinity High School is located, that would be a good start

A lot of Fatterson's recruits are from DFW...
