The Huskies got some good news today when 3 star defensive lineman Matamatagi Uiagaleli from Mater Dei HS, CA committed to UW. Uiagaleli, who is rated by 247sports as the 86th best defensive lineman in the 2027 class, also held offers from Miami, Michigan, and UCLA. Last season for Mater Deil Uiagaleli had 28 total tackles, 6.5 TFL\u2019s and 3 sacks. The Huskies have been very active in recruiting the trinity league and Uiagaleli is a talented player who can play outside or develop into a true interior defensive lineman (he\u2019s listed at 6\u20193\u201d and around 240 pounds right now). If his name sounds familiar it is, his older brother Tai\u2019ta\u2019i played for UW last season and a valuable contributor on the defensive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Here are some of highlights from last season:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Uiagaleli is now the 7th commit in the 2027 class and 5th defensive player to commit in the class.
