Football, man. It gives and it takes. And it has taken a lot physically. It’s tough walking away from a game you love, but I needed to do what was best for me. Thank you Husky Nation, it has been an honor. 🤞🏽
Wow. Senior DT Faatui Tuitele announces via IG he's retiring from football. Had 1 more year of eligibility left. Has dealt with injuries throughout his career but started most of the last two seasons. Best of luck in your next stage of life!
Wouldn’t trade my brothers and being a Husky for anything else in this world. Thank you Husky Nation for embracing this kid from Kalihi, HI. I am so Blessed to have put on that purple and gold for 5 years. Much love 💜💛
I remember during fall camp, we had some former Dawgs talk to us. I don’t remember who said it but someone said it’s not about going 15-0. It’s about going 1-0, 15 times. One more 1-0 to go.
Let’s get recruitin’… HUGE thank you to
@mbactol34
and
@CoachOmura

Draft day hits different now knowing those guys whose names will be called tomorrow, you have shed blood, sweat and tears with. Been through hell and back with. Experienced the lowest of lows and highest of highs with. Couldn’t be more proud man. Go Huskies. ❤️
This place doesn’t just talk about family, it IS family. I’ve met some of my closest friends at UW. Guys who I know will be in my wedding someday. Who I know I can call up any time for anything. It’s truly a special place filled with amazing people. It is the place to be!! ☔️🐺
Coming from Hawaii, this place INSTANTLY felt just like home for me and it has been my home since. Such a rich history of Pacific Islanders who have paved the way for myself and many more to come! COME JOIN THE PIPELINE!! 🤙🏾🌴 Heawiiikooo

Time to head back to the islands. Will be back in the summer. Thank you to all the coaches, players, staff and everyone for their love and hospitality. We’re really building something special in Seattle. 🤙🏾💜
Felt like we were getting ready for spring ball all over again when I saw all the boys at the pro day 😂 you could definitely see and feel how much everyone missed one another.
This for all the upcoming recruits and high school players… don’t listen to no “NCAA recruiting service” or these ppl out here who scammin you for yo money that “promise” to get you recruited. Your FILM gon speak for itself.
Injuries forced Faatui Tuitele to retire from football, but the Washington d-tackle hopes to stick with the sport. Thought this was an illuminating exit interview.
I want it to be known that Kam Fab is a true Husky LEGEND. Been here thru 4 coaches, stepped up in the biggest moments, and wears the W on his sleeve. Defines what it means to be a DAWG
Faatui Tuitele used to lie awake, listening to rats scurry across the floor. He shared a 3-bedroom apartment in Hawaii’s projects with 11 family members. And he loved it.
Faatui left home, but it never left him:
