The 6-foot-3, 297-pounder is considered the fourth-best defensive tackle and the No. 56 prospect overall in the Class of 2017. His only official visits this fall were to Ann Arbor and Columbus this season, but he'll take trips to Los Angeles and Salt Lake City on consecutive weeks at the end of January.
Tufele - U.S. Army All-American - will make his final decision on National Signing Day, but expect head coach Urban Meyer to make an in-home visit shortly beforehand.
