Five-star defensive lineman Marcus Fakatou has named his top 10 schools, per On3’s Hayes Fawcett.
Fakatou is a talented lineman that has drawn interest from various programs across the country. The rising star currently has Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, USC, Texas, Oregon, Oklahoma, Penn State, Miami, and Georgia listed as his top 10 programs. At 6-foot-7, 275 pounds, Fakatou is widely regarded as a top defensive lineman from the 2027 class, as the defensive playmaker would more than likely play a key role on the Bulldogs’ defensive line should he commit to Georgia.
