Lolomana Mikaele
» Class: Senior
» Position: Defensive tackle
» High school: Damien (2006)
» Height: 6 feet 2
» Weight: 305 pounds
» Notes: 15 career starts, including all 11 games his senior season; 54 tackles, with 11 going for loss in his career; football, basketball and track letter-winner in high school; football second-team all-state selection
The 2006 Damien graduate has witnessed first-hand the unbelievable turnaround at Arizona, where coach Mike Stoops has taken a Pac-10 doormat to the upper echelon of the conference over a six-year period.
Mikaele's career has taken a similar path. He started out as a wide-eyed freshman wanting to go back to Hawaii, but is now a full-time starter at defensive tackle who thinks of Arizona as his second home.
