Foley Fatukasi will go down as one of former New York Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan’s few fantastic finds.
The Far Rockway, Queens product born Folorunso Ifeyinka Fatukasi starred at local Beach Channel High School. He got recruited by UConn, where he impressed as a student-athlete, and dominated as a four-year starter.
In short, at Storrs, he performed like a one-man wrecking crew. A few top NFL prognosticators who watched the kid dominate the Combine compared him to defensive house wreckers like Dontari Poe and Michael Brockers. Gang Green pounced on Fatukasi in the sixth round of the 2018 Draft (180th overall), making him the 33rd D-Lineman taken off the board.
