Texas Transfer Tausili Akana Commits to BYU Football

On Monday, Texas transfer and former four-star recruit Tausili Akana committed to Kalani Sitake and the BYU football program. Akana, a BYU target in high school

https://www.si.com/college/byu/football/texas-transfer-tausili-akana-commits-to-byu-football

In two years at Texas, Akana played just a handful of snaps for the Longhorns on defense. When he did play, he lined up at linebacker. He was listed at 220 pounds in 2024. If he can add 15-20 pounds, he has the potential to become the talented edge rusher that he was recruited to be in high school.

I mean, that’s how transfer ratings work. They show both ratings for a reason.

The proof is in the production next year.

they ran into issues for rating transfers way to high the last couple years, they are probably over correcting this year

The system is rigged against BYU!

Dec 23, 1:20pm

Not rigged against BYU specifically, but there is definite brand bias with recruits and where they sign and the ratings

Tons of confirmation and selection bias with forced ranking with far more players as equal. Journalists not footballers

They dropped his rating just today when he signed?

ochobeeguy

Dec 23, 2:37pm

No, his rating was 85 for the last week-plus, ever since he entered the portal

So you’re mad they evaluated him as a transfer based on college production rather than his high school production?

Journalists with a media company. Goofy group.

It’s dumb, but at the same time how can they grade a 2 year transfer as 4*

Dec 23, 2:27pm

Every downgrade should come with a mea culpa about how they were wrong and why

GoodBetterBestBYU

Dec 23, 2:30pm

I get it. If they had a reasoning on his profile that said something like “his

I mean Jackson Bowers was a 4* 90 overall recruit and 247 hasn’t even bothered

You worry too much about what 247 thinks
