TAKITAKI’S BACK: Defensive lineman Sione Takitaki, who did not play last season, is listed as a possible starter on the projected depth chart.
“He’s more ready than I’ve ever seen him. He looks great in the workouts,” said linebacker Fred Warner. “He’s been working his tail off and he’s had more motivation than he’s ever had because of what’s happened — being in and out of the program. He’s learned from his mistakes and he’s ready to get after it and show everybody what he can do.”
Midway through his sophomore year in 2015, Takitaki was suspended for the rest of the season and hasn’t played since.
