Could a bond with UW signee Noa Ngalu help lure prized linebacker prospect Daniel Heimuli to Washington?

Family.

That’s what Daniel Heimuli found at Menlo-Atherton High School in Menlo Park, Calif., where the 2019 linebacker prospect secured a California state title last December.

That’s what the consensus four-star recruit brought with him to Hawaii, where he was named the defensive MVP of the Polynesian Bowl All-Star Game last Saturday.

And that’s what he’s hoping to discover during an official visit at the University of Washington this weekend.

“(I’m looking for) family, really, because that’s what I’m going to miss the most,” Heimuli said in a phone interview with The Times on Tuesday.
