Laiatu's younger brother Keleki has given the UW a boost at tight end.
For Thursday's University of Washington football practice practice, Quentin Moore, the Huskies' No. 1 tight end, showed up with a protective boot on his left foot. He would spend much of his time that morning doing rehab exercises with trainers.For all seven practices, sophomore tight end Ryan Otton, younger brother of UW and NFL standout Cade Otton, likewise has been sidelined with some sort of unspecified injury and so far has been unable to prepare for the coming season.
Add to that walk-ons Owen Coutts and Wilson Schwartz who similarly have been dinged up in practice and temporarily exited the field in search of medical attention. "I wish he was able to finish here and he wished he was able to do it, too," Keleki Latu said. of his brother's Husky experience. "Hopefully, I can finish out strong for him."In 2018, the Latu brothers played together at Jesuit High School in Sacramento, California, both as tight ends and edge rushers.
Yet this offensive-minded Latu has come to the Huskies to become a complete player under the guidance of tight-ends coach Jordan Paopao. This past April, the Latu brothers were together in Detroit for the NFL Draft, sharing in the Green Room and all, with Laiatu having everything turn out as well for him as could be expected and Keleki getting a good look at what's possible.
