Naki Fahini High School Senior out of Lawndale, Ca could be the impact UNLV needs at SDE. He would fit nicely with UNLV's three other D-L recruits thus far. I feel the D-L is UNLV's biggest need, and having a SDE go with the two WDE and the one tackle we already have is exactly what we need.
His Junior year numbers 84 tackles 22 for loss and 12 sacks. Senior year numbers were 52 tackles 14 for loss and 7 sacks. 247 sports has him *** stars and 8156. Lets hope we get him.

Off of https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Athlete.aspx?AID=11015336#!/L0, looks like he’s an athlete. A 6’1 255 pound kid running a 12 second 100m isn’t bad. By comparison, Chuck ran a 10.93. I don’t expect our big men to be as fast, but this is a step in the right direction. I don’t think anyone could argue that we’re fast enough on defense.

If he was anywhere near 250lbs when he ran the half mile in 2:30min, that would be ridiculous.

Production was there for sure.

I agree. The highlight tape shows a big kid that is fast in a straight line that knows how to hit. Numbers don't lie. I think he lacks the side to side movement to be a reliable linebacker in coverage. I don't think he'll lose much speed if we throw a little bit more muscle onto the frame.
