Name is pronounced "
al-uh-MEE-duh | tah-AH-moo" --- Was a four-year starter and team captain for the Huskies --- Named Honorable Mention All-Pac-10 / 12 in 2010 and 2011 --- Reportedly weighed as much as 390 pounds at one point and conditioning can be an issue for players of Samoan descent but has since matured --- Prototypical two-gapper with rare size but is also a lot more active than you would normally expect --- Could play nose tackle in either a 4-3 or 3-4 scheme --- A unique, underrated prospect with the ability to start at the next level.
