“They’re always contenders for a championship and take pride in winning,” Bituli said.

Bituli also plays running back at Nashville Christian School and has only been playing football competitively for a short time. However, his pure athleticism and 6-3, 225-pound frame have caught the eye of several major programs.

Currently holding a grade of 93 according to 247Sports, Bituli already has twelve offers on the table and sixteen teams with legitimate interest. That list is only expected to grow as the next year-plus progresses.
