Five star OL having a good time
Euless (Texas) Trinity offensive lineman Ofa Mohetau likes to have fun - on the football field and with reporters trying to cover his recruitment.

You see, Mohetau is a five-star offensive guard and one of the nation's best players. He's helped Trinity to a 7-1 record and is hoping to help them clinch a high seed in the Texas state playoffs with a victory on Friday night.
"It's been a great year," he said. "I'm having fun."
And he's also having fun with the recruiting process. In interviews, he's become accustomed of telling reporters from certain publications what they want to hear.
If you're a Nebraska reporter - the Huskers are his top team. If you're a Colorado reporter - they're high up on his list, too.
A different day has become a different story for him.
And that leads us to the latest with Mohetau.
On Tuesday night, Mohetau said he's got all five of his official visits lined up and didn't even mention two previous schools he had listed as trips.
"I'm going to visit Miami, Oklahoma, Texas, BYU and Arizona State," Mohetau said.
Mohetau said he knew of two of the dates for sure - Miami on December 13 and Oklahoma on December 20. He did not know what weekends in January that he was going to visit Texas, BYU or Arizona State.
So what happened to Nebraska or Colorado?
"I don't know," Mohetau said. "Those are the five that I'm going to visit. I'm still open to going a little bit away from home, but my friends and family want me to stay a little bit closer to home."
So we'll have to see how this shakes and if Mohetau is just having fun with everybody again.
