  • Perhaps the greatest source of consternation among Husky fans this summer has been the dearth of interior defensive linemen in the recruiting class. The Dawgs flipped that narrative on Saturday with the commitment of Tufanua Ionatana (“TI”) Umu-Cais. At 6’3” and already 307 lbs., the big man looks like the sort of true space-eater who anchored the UW defense in the days of Elijah Qualls, Danny Shelton, and Vita Vea. Going into the commitment ceremony, UCLA was considered by many to be the front-runner to secure Umu-Cais’ commitment over UW, Colorado, and North Carolina.
