Gorgias 3rd String

Just off the top of my head I'm thinking of Romney Fuga, Travis Tuiloma, and Eathyn Manumaleuna.

I don't know how/where they'd stack up to Tonga, but those guys were monsters inside.

Tonga's gonna be an all-timer. I can't recall another nose tackle who was this

well, I'd say BYU's best defensive line was in '86 with a 3-4

If he keeps performing at this level, he will hear his name on draft day

I think him being drafted is locked up. At this point, how high is the question.

I really doubt he’ll be a first rounder.

Did you watch the game this week? How about last week? He's steamrolling centers

I know. I doubt he’ll be a first round pick. Maybe I’m wrong.

Definitely has the potential. Just needs to be more consistent.

If he sticks around for 2020 and has some big games against big time opponents..

He’s not consistent. Takes some plays off

This is where you hope Kalani sees this and is actively working with him to

he needs to get a more consistent motor to move into the first 3 rounds of the draft

Just wait till they see Utah’s D-line.

Utah’s water boys and stats geeks are bigger better and faster.

Isn't "gorilla" a racist term? It's so confusing these days which ways I'm

It's super offensive and racist, but usually just toward black people

I get it, this is a sports board and this kind of racial talk can be tiresome

The center gets to go from Tonga to preseason All-American Leki Fotu — both West Valley products

And another one who should be in blue

This is what last game looked like for him...

How many stars was Brett Neilon and how many was Tonga?

Agaricus

Tonga's BYU page says ESPN had him at 3 stars. 247 shows 2 stars. Neilon was 4.
