After graduating from Liberty High School in Las Vegas in 2014, Jarvis Polu committed to play football for Army. His father had retired from the Army after 25 years and Polu was ready to follow in his father’s footsteps.
Polu had been recruited by Army coach Rich Ellerson, but Ellerson was fired following the 2013 season.
