Ohio State has two experienced starters in
Zach Harrison and
Tyreke Smith, and while it s tough to say that Tuimoloau is a plug-and-play starter out the gate for either of these programs, I think the better fit for the Eastside Catholic product is with Oregon.
Tuimoloau has the athleticism and coverage skills to play Oregon s hybrid defender position whether is something like the STUD we saw under Andy Avalos, or something new with DeRuyter. This would allow Funa to take over Isaac Slade-Matautia s role as a middle linebacker, and you have to think the idea of playing alongside Thibodeaux is a major factor.

Jevon Holland has been selected by the Miami Dolphins the with the 36th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
He becomes the first safety taken in this year s draft and will join a loaded secondary with players like Xavien Howard and Byron Jones. Miami also spent one of its three first round draft picks last year on cornerback Noah Igbinoghene from Auburn.
The Dolphins have drafted wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (Alabama), edge rusher Jaelen Phillips (Miami), and offensive tackle Liam Eichenberg (Notre Dame).
Holland adds to the Oregon defensive back legacy in the NFL with
Troy Hill (Rams),
Terrance Mitchell (Texans) all on NFL teams.
