That’s according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also rated as a Top-100 defensive lineman in the class and a Top-150 player out of the state.

Taumanupepe is one of 16 players so far to enter the portal and leave A&M this offseason in the portal. He’s now the second to commit with the other staying in-state as well with QB Conner Weigman committing to Houston.
