Tuitele is the No. 40-ranked prospect in the country and chose Washington over Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State and Texas. It's quite the win for coach Chris Petersen and his staff who currently hold the No. 21-ranked recruiting class in the country.

Hailing from St. Louis High School in Hawaii, Tuitele is the fifth prospect to commit to Washington from Hawaii in this class.
