Sam Tai on SDSU’s Radar

Who is Sam Tai? A prototypical defensive end (and good quarterback too) that displays an impressive football resume. A strong and quick player, Sam possesses great lower body strength that matches up well against big offensive tackles. His quickness would afford the desired pressure on a QB that Borges needs to run his defense scheme effectively.

Scout rates Tai as a three star recruit and has him ranked as the 67th top defensive end in the country. At 6′4 and 234 pounds the athletically gifted Tai played quarterback last year as well as earning “All League” honors at defensive end. In 2009 he had four sacks and 32 tackles while playing both ways.

Sam Tai’s list of offerings is impressive (Table below from Scout.com). Although its highly unlikely that SDSU lands this coveted recruit he would surely compliment an emerging defensive strength in SDSU Football; a strength already powered by Perry Jackson (4-Star). Imagine Jackson and Tai up front-wow! We can all only hope…
