Daniel Faalele, IMG Academy, Offensive Tackle

Don't know anything about him except he's listed at 6'9 390lbs & he plays for IMG.

He was also at Miami when IMG visited for Duke.

I've searched for the last hour or so, and can't find 3 seconds of film on this kid... Lol

You guys got anything on him?

Daniel ‘Baby Shaq’ Faalele, Melbourne, Australia Faalele is largely the reason Jim Harbaugh and staff are heading to Australia. The 6-10 16-year-old is simply a fascinating physical specimen. Like Langi, Faalele had never played football but has a background in basketball and rugby. Faalele is the prime example of the intrigue that could ensue if the world's top athletes opt to play football.

Scary part is he's that big at 16/17... might top out at 7 feet by the time he enrolls.
 
Samoans that big usually have tree trunks for legs, can he move though, basketball background sounds promising....

This is Daniel Faalele from New Zealand. Sitting out this year but will play for IMG next season. He's 6'9 390 lbs & 16 years old. Yes 390

Meet twin-towers and heavily sought after offensive line prospects Eneasi Kavapalu (17) and Daniel ‘Baby Shaq’ Faalele (16).

Trained at Conquest Fitness in southeast Melbourne, the 6’7” Kavapalu and 6’10” Faalele have drawn heavy recruiting interest from major college programs across the Big 10, Pac 12, AAC and Mountain-West conferences, headlined by Jim Harbaugh’s Michigan Wolverines, the University of Southern California Trojans and the Penn State Nittany Lions.

The dual 300-pounders (Kavapalu is 145kg and Faalele is 151kg) have backgrounds in rugby union, Australian rules and basketball and were introduced to American football while working with the gym’s director David Tuinauvai.

2.2 lbs in a key -- 332lbs. Big boy still growing.

Going to be hard to pull him from Michigan though, considering they basically put him on the map. We got way better weather for the Aussies though.
