Texas picked up a huge commitment from Liona Lefau on Saturday evening. In Lefau, Texas brings in one of the top linebackers in the country.
The highly regarded player from Kahuku, Hawaii looks the part. Lefau displayed excellent acceleration and speed as a pass rusher paired with hard hitting ability.
While many aren’t used to six-foot 210-pound linebackers, players like Lefau are ideal for the athletic demands of modern college football.
After difficulty recruiting linebackers from high school and through the portal, this is a huge victory for Texas linebacker coach Jeff Choate. Lefau could be a great fit as an outside linebacker in Pete Kwiatkowski’s defense. He surely possesses some of the traits Pete Kwiatkowski looked for as defensive coordinator for the Washington Huskies.
Lefau chose Texas over Oregon, Utah, BYU, and USC among other offers. He is the No. 16 linebacker in the country and the top player in Hawaii according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
