Going into the final weekend before National Signing Day, Tech was still in need of an offensive lineman or two to round out the class. They ended up getting one from an... unlikely place. Boe Tufele, a defensive lineman from Narbonne HS in Harbor City, Calif. (in the southern part of the Los Angeles metro area), made an official visit to Tech on January 27 and committed a couple days later after receiving an offer.
Tufele’s commitment was somewhat out of the blue in multiple regards. His name had not been connected to Tech much leading up to his visit, and suddenly a couple days later he was committed.
