ILB Solomon Tuliaupupu

One of the top rated inside linebackers in the country, Santa Ana California’s Solomon Tuliaupupu would be a huge get for the Huskies.  He is one of the most coveted uncommitted linebackers in the nation right now, and Washington knows how to optimize linebacker talent.

The team has already scored heavy with the commitment of inside linebacker Brandon Kaho.  Kaho was a big win after getting him to flip from Brigham Young University.  Pairing these two would give the Huskies a look similar to what Victor and Bierria gave the team in 2016. He’s a big, strong linebacker who can play from sideline to sideline.

Not only that, but he make plays in coverage and is a great tackler. There are lots of questions at linebacker right now with the expected departure of both Victor and Bierria. Tuliaupupu is the ideal middle linebacker for any defense.  And while it looks like he’s a long shot to play in Seattle, he would be a major pick-up for Chris Petersen.
