A four-star OG from the 2019 prep cycle, Fautanu (6’4/317) effectively took redshirts in his first two seasons, logging just 12 offensive snaps in that span before being called upon to start three of the seven games he played in 2021. There was a “bend, but don’t break” element to Fautanu’s final season at Washington, as he struggled with UCLA’s Laiatu Latu and the “Pass-Rushing Murphy Brothers,” allowing four pressures to a rugged Bruins edge group.
