However, his effort against the Crimson Tide and a good showing in the Senior Bowl would certainly help. Tinoisamoa grew up in the same Samoan community in Oceanside, California and went to the same church as San Diego Chargers linebacker Junior Seau. He spent four months in prison during his senior year at Vista High School for felony assault convictions. |
