UCLA Football Recruiting: New DC Azzinaro Flips 3-Star DT Atonio Mafi From UC Berkeley to the Bruins

UCLA flipped 3-star defensive tackle Atonio Mafi from UC Berkeley today and signed him to a National Letter of Intent. Mafi will be coming to Westwood from Junipero Serra HS in San Mateo.

"I'm signing with UCLA,” Mafi said in an interview with Scout.com’s Brandon Huffman. “Coach Azz was a big reason why I committed to Cal in the first place, so now that he's at UCLA, it shook it up.”

Mafi’s Hudl.com profile lists him at 6’3” tall and weighing in at 360 pounds. His junior year highlight film shows him just levelling opponent after opponent, regardless of the side of the ball he was on at the time, and, with his size, he should be plowing through them.
