Latu skipped the LA Bowl against Boise State to focus on preparing for the NFL draft.
The talented pass rusher won the Lombardi Award, given to the nation’s best defensive lineman, and was named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year.
In 12 games, Latu recorded 21.5 tackles for loss, 13 sacks, and a pair of forced fumbles.
