GEORGE FOTU
He's a 6-5 sophomore with good handling skills and an understanding of the game. All he needs to do is use that huge frame with a bit more anger and he's a true star. Big guys are tough to evaluate because when they're young, they're still young. You can't coach big, but you can coach the rest, and in time, as he crows in confidence, Fotu will control rugby games.

Right now, he's an awesome player on a strong HS team at Peninsula Green, who is fortunate to have guys like Luke Gross to advise him. If we're USA Rugby, we're looking to nuture his talent right now, and through his late teens. 

Fotu is, of ourse, not the only breakout player. In the high school realm, there are always new faces, but if Fotu had a challenger, it was another big forward in Liam Jimmons. Another tall Californian with the rugby world in front of him.

Here's a GIF of Fotu scoring on a pick-and-jam against Uruguay.
