The College Football season is about a week away, and our countdown is wrapping up. Today we cover No. 2.
#2: Kalani Vakameilalo - Defensive Line
Kalani Vakameilalo (pronounced vah-kah-may-lah-loh) is a big-time defensive tackle for Oregon State. The senior started all 12 games last season and has played in 34 games for the Beavers. In recent weeks due to a lack of defensive line depth, the defense has been playing a 2-4-5 formation and not only is Vakameilalo expected to start, he will be asked to play a lot of snaps and occupy a lot of blockers to open up lanes for the linebackers.
