WATCH: One on one with Arizona OL commit Rhino Tapaatoutai

"Main thing is, just focus on the next play," he said. "Control only what you can control. Fight for your brothers, you know? It's 11 against 11. You're gonna ride with your brothers beside you, and just have fun. Play the game."

It is that type of brotherhood that sparked Tapaatoutai's interest in the Wildcats back in the spring, and he is set to play for a coach who will match his energy. Arizona offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Brennan Carroll can often be seen dancing and firing up the players during practice, warmups and games.

His approach to the game is something that is mirrored in Tapaatoutai making it a perfect match for the three-star lineman. During Arizona's bye week last week, Carroll made a stop at Alemany High School and the relationship Tapaatoutai has with the UA staff has continued to grow since his pledge.

"It's pretty good, it's real good," he said about the relationship with UA's coaches. "Coach Carroll, great guy. He stopped by and came to check in before our game."

Tapaatouti would love to be able to play on both sides of the ball at the next level — he had a sack in Friday's game — but he understands that the bigger need for the Wildcats is along the offensive line. Right now the plan is to have him come in and begin his career at the tackle position.
