Amon-Ra St. Brown and Solomon Tuliaupupu were in the same class at Mater Dei and attended USC together.
St. Brown just completed his fifth season in the NFL an Tuliaupupu is about to enter his ninth season of college.
If Tuliaupupu made an NFL team, he would be a rookie during St. Brown’s seventh NFL season.
Why is Tuli still playing football? How many downs has he played in eight years? Does he have a doctorate? What is his major? Fight on, Dan, Class of 1962

I recall at one point he wanted to go into ministry which makes his endless pursuit of football even more bewildering. I don’t think USC or Wyoming offer degrees in Theology and that career would require extensive academic training.

If Solomon were NFL material he’d be long gone by now. Maybe he thinks if he keeps at it and improves, he might one day be drafted

KAM: Academic Achievements
Despite the challenges on the field, Tuliaupupu has leveraged his time in college to earn multiple degrees:
Currently pursuing a Graduate Certificate in entrepreneurship at the University of Montana.
Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from USC’s Marshall School of Business.
Master’s Degree in Project Management from USC.
DON: He’s a great Trojan STUDENT-athlete, a throwback to the pre-mercenary days.

Nine years in school. Sounds like a professional student. You don’t learn about project management in school. You become an assistant to the project manager and then the project manager.

Call me old-fashioned, but perhaps we should cap the age of college athletes at 23 or 24 unless the circumstances are obvious (e.g. religious mission or military service or injuries, etc.) significantly delay college.

Could have had Ed Orgeron but passed on him in favor of defensive analyst Skylar Jones. I can’t believe this decision. Absolute garbage!
