On Sunday morning, Faalele weighed in at 400 pounds and was measured at 6'8". 247Sports reports that observers at the weigh-in were saying he carries his weight very well and could potentially become an elite prospect in the 2018 class. Here's a reference point for just how massive Faalele is:

The Australia native moved to Florida to play at the IMG Academy and hopes to become an elite recruit down the road. No school seems to be the favorite in his recruitment as of now, but he does have offers from the likes of Florida State, Michigan, Georgia, LSU, Miami and Alabama.
Faalele got himself on the recruiting board for Michigan after Jim Harbaugh and company hosted a satellite camp in Australia last summer. He also got a scholarship offer from FSU over the weekend at an unofficial visit for junior day. For his size and height, Faalele has earned the nickname "Baby Shaq" and is expected to compete for starting spot at IMG this fall.
