Talented 2023 LB Tausili Akana Sets Date for Baylor Visit, Other In-State Rivals
The Baylor Bears have already added some top commits on defense for the class of 2023. But in recruiting, the job is never finished, as the Bears and coach Dave Aranda are looking to persuade elite Skyridge (Lehi, Utah) linebacker Tausili Akana during his unofficial visit next week.
Akana will arrive in Waco for his unofficial visit on Tuesday, June 7. Aranda and the Bears are set up nicely, as Akana's visit will come after he makes trips to SEC powerhouses like Tennessee (June 2), Auburn (June 3), Alabama (June 4), LSU (June 5), and Texas A&M (June 6). He'll also be making a visit to Big 12 and I-35 rival Texas on June 8.
"There is a lot of schools reaching out to me," Akana told SI in April. "But just trying to narrow things down. This will be a busy spring for me and my family. Looking forward to it."
With so many programs to choose from, Akana knows it'll take time to find the right fit, as he admitted getting to know the staff will play a crucial part in his decision.
"(It) needs to be a good fit for me and my family," he said. "I really want some place that I can feel at home. Relationships with the staff is very important for me."
At 6-4, 225, Akana possess nice size that will only improve as he continues through his senior year. He said he's aiming to make a decision before next season kicks off.
