Before Taylor Tuiasosopo got a football scholarship offer from Montana State, he barely knew Montana existed.
Tuiasosopo grew up in Lancaster, California, a town about 70 miles north of Los Angeles. He owned almost zero pairs of pants. He never saw snow during his childhood. He was used to the infamous LA traffic that was sometimes so bad, he put his car in park on the congested freeway.
Bozeman and LA are not nearly as similar as the Boz Angeles nickname might suggest, as Tuiasosopo learned when he began his MSU career.
The 6-foot-4, 300-pound offensive lineman constantly slipped and fell on icy sidewalks during his freshman year at MSU in 2016.
