After a late start to the sport, receiver Workpeh Kofa has contributed on the field for the 49ers since his freshman season.
Kofa was a late bloomer when it came concentrating on playing football. He took up the sport in eighth grade, but the pigskin always came in second to basketball. It wasn’t until Kofa’s junior year at Independence high school that he started to look seriously at football. Once he gave the game his all, he reaped the rewards on the field.
“I started to develop in football and it became more natural. When I started taking it more seriously, I saw more results on the field,” Kofa said.
