Fameitau Siale has flipped his commitment from Michigan State to Utah

Seattle (Wash.) O’Dea two-way lineman Fameitau Siale has flipped his commitment from Michigan State to Utah and will now sign with the Utes.

Siale is one of the nation’s top edge prospects. He was a big early pickup for the Spartans and never backed off his pledge following the former head coach Jonathan Smith firing.

We did hear buzz that he likely would not be signing with Michigan State and Utah was always the school to watch with him.

He also visited Arizona State and Washington back in the summer but the Utes made a strong late push and were able to seal the deal.

Siale has some elite level traits and is a strong under-rated pickup for Utah. The Utes do as good a job at developing lineman as anyone and Siale is a great piece to add to the program.

He’s all of 6-foot-4, 255 pounds with a ton of length, long arms and the talented athlete looks like a college player right now and still has plenty of room to add good weight. 

He’s extremely quick off the snap, uses his hands well and has looked very good during 5v5 workouts this off-season. 

He shows off a nice burst getting around the edge and plays a power game as well. Has some real suddenness and burst to him and shows the athleticism to be able to run down plays from behind. Strong at the point of attack, can disengage and is strong in run support. Extremely physical and is always in attack mode. Add in a high level motor and a strong off the field work ethic and there is no question, Siale has an NFL ceiling if he maximizes his potential.
