Notre Dame 99-to-2: No. 32 Marist Liufau, Hawaiian freshman linebacker

Listed Measurements: 6-foot-3, 200 pounds.
2019-20 year, eligibility: A just-arrived freshman, Liufau has all four seasons of eligibility remaining, including 2019.
Depth chart: Slotting Liufau at either Rover (more likely) or Buck linebacker does not change his status as a scout team defender.
Recruiting: A consensus three-star, Liufau’s recruitment reflected his Hawaiian pedigree. Schools familiar with island products generally want more of them, and with one notable exception, those schools are usually and logically West Coast-based. Thus, Notre Dame beat out the likes of USC, Oregon and Washington State for the No.
