He is from Hawaii Ta’amu is from Pearl City, Hawaii. Pearl City is situated on the windward portion of the island of Oahu. He is a JUCO transfer Ta’amu attended New Mexico Military Institute before transferring to Ole Miss. He was rated a 3-star prospect by Scout and ESPN and was named the No. 4 junior college dual-threat QB in the nation by ESPN. He was a member of the Scout JUCO Top 100 and was listed as the No. 99 overall JUCO prospect in the country. He threw for 3,014 yards and 32 touchdowns while also rushing for 328 yards and seven touchdowns at NMMI. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLqai2VYP3E He chose Ole Miss because it felt like family Ta’amu was a highly ranked JUCO quarterback, but only received one SEC offer.. Ole Miss. He received offers from Minnesota, New Mexico and Southern Miss. "I felt like as soon as I stepped on campus that I was home and this was a family. I'm truly blessed and I can't wait to compete at Ole Miss," Ta'amu told Rebels247 after he committed. "Ole Miss is a lot like Hawaii where I'm from. The people are friendly and make you feel like family." I don't really see that comparison. At all. https://twitter.com/kingJordanT10/status/807768003483959296?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Folemiss.247sports.com%2FArticle%2FTaamu-Tells-Why-He-Chose-Ole-Miss-49714357 He is majoring in Criminal Justice  It is very rare for a football athlete to major in anything other than communications.
