YEAR OF THE BROTHER

There are an inordinate amount of prospects in the 2019 class out West whose brothers are playing or have played college football and that could have a significant influence on their decisions as well.

There’s no telling how it will play out yet but it’s absolutely something to watch since there are so many of them in the region basically across the board at all positions.

At quarterback, Taulia Tagovailoa’s brother, Tua, is a freshman at Alabama, Ryan Hilinski’s brother, Tyler, plays at Washington State and Luke McCaffrey’s brothers, Christian and Dylan, were/are at Stanford and Michigan, respectively. At receiver, Mycah Pittman’s brother, Michael, is at USC.

Others to really focus on are defensive tackle Matthew Pola-Mao, whose brother Isaiah, signed with USC last recruiting cycle; tight end Patrick Herbert’s brother, Justin, goes to Oregon; defensive back Ralen Goforth’s brother, Randall, has been at UCLA and Enokk Vimahi’s brother, Aliki, signed with Utah last recruiting cycle.

There are others as well. Those are just some of the big names. It could be something to closely watch as the younger brothers start to make their decisions – and possibly follow their siblings – to certain schools.
