TE Hank Tuipulotu of Nation Ford called his USC official visit “awesome, really cool. The coaches are looking like they are doing a great job. The program is on the rise. The facilities are so sweet and the campus is so nice. There’s a lot of nice things to like about this schools.” Tuipulotu is committed to BYU and will visit there this coming weekend. “I’m not sure I can make a decision right now,” he said. “It’s tough to say. I haven’t visited BYU yet. But having my family being able to come to all of the games is real intriguing, a real pro for coming here.” Tuipulotu is planning to go on a Mormon mission for two years right out of high school so he won’t enroll in the college he chooses before 2018. “Well, it won’t really have an impact on my choice,” he said. “Both schools are cool with my decision to serve a mission. They will work around it. It just means that I won’t be on the roster the next two seasons since I will essentially be taking a break between high school and college.”
