At 6’1″ tall and at least 295 pounds, Mounga already has the college body. I’m not sure if he has mission plans or not, but either way, when he comes to BYU he’ll remind a lot of fans of former Cougar Romney Fuga. Mounga can eat up blocks and in his film when teams try to take him on one-on-one he shows the ability to shed those blocks and make a tackle. That sounds a lot like Fuga. With Teancum Fuga and Mounga in the mix, BYU has a couple of really big options to stick on the defensive line going forward.
Mounga played with current BYU player Tyler Cook in high school and it will be interesting to see them reunited in Provo.
Go show Mounga some love on Twitter and give him a follow @mounga50. Another #2015ChosenOne is on board!
