Nathan Mageo Commits to UH

Stephen Tsai writes that JC defensive tackle Nathan Mageo will become a Warrior.

Mageo, who was raised in American Samoa, will enroll at UH in January, and will participate in the offseason conditioning program and spring training.

He has three years to play two seasons.

Mageo, who is 6 feet 3 and 278 pounds, is capable of bench pressing 360 pounds and running 40 yards in under 5 seconds.

He turned down scholarship offers from North Carolina State, Kansas State, Arizona, Baylor, Troy and Southern Methodist.

"I chose Hawai'i because I like the defense, and I like the coaching staff," said Mageo, who spoke to The Advertiser after completing his recruiting visit. "I feel comfortable here."

Right on. Congrats to Nathan and UH!
