Roy, Chirs' oldest brother, was a four-year starting offensive lineman for Utah.</P> <P>Chris threw the shot but only as a sophomore where he heaved it 50 feet.&nbsp; "Wow," I exclaimed to Chris, "you could have gone over 60 of you'd stuck with it and lifted properly."&nbsp; Chris just shrugged his huge shoulders and told me he's got a little cousin who just threw 52-feet as a 9th grader.&nbsp; See what I mean about that Samoan blood.</P> <P>Samoan life in Hawaii is good according to Chris.&nbsp; "You can climb mountains and trees and go to the beach.&nbsp; There are always chores to do."&nbsp; However, there is a darker side.&nbsp; "I have a lot of friends who are huge and could be playing, but grades and the SAT screw them up.&nbsp; The ones on scholarship are real lucky."</P> <P>As an 18-year old true freshman, Chris was named Western Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year.&nbsp; He was also an honorable mention all-WAC running back, Utah's New Comer of the Year and Most Inspirational Offensive Player as he led the Utes in rushing at nearly 76 yards per game.&nbsp; At this time, Chris weighed 275 pounds with 4.7 speed.</P> <P>By his sophoomore year, Chris was 280 pounds and a First-team all-WAC running back despite missing three games due to knee surgery (arthroscopic surgery) to repair torn knee cartilage.&nbsp; He was voted Utah MVP by his teammates and averaged 122.8 yards per game which was the second most in school history for a career average of 95.5 yards per carry.</P> <P>Chris is now fully recovered but head coach Ron McBride feels the need to push Chris to even higher levels.&nbsp; "Chris needs to become more disciplined in his everyday life.&nbsp; The little things need to be more important to him.&nbsp; Chris is a big play guy who has shown incredible potential, but one who can get even better.&nbsp; I liked what I saw in the spring.&nbsp; He became a much better blocker and missed fewer assignments."</P> <P>Chris took this charge by Coach McBride to heart.&nbsp; His weight had climbed to 295 and Offensive Coordinator, Fred Graves, began calling Chris everyday.&nbsp; "I came back to Utah last summer," said Chris, "because of Coach Graves.&nbsp; I promised him and I had to keep my promise.&nbsp; If you promise something you have an obligation to keep that promise."</P> <P>"Last summer I worked out harder than ever before.&nbsp; I got stronger really fast.&nbsp; I feel really light on my feet now that my weight is down to 268 pounds.&nbsp; I'm glad I came back.&nbsp; If everybody would see me workout, coach Graves told me, they would respect me more.&nbsp; It's also better to be leaner."&nbsp; Chris is now running a 4.6 forty with a 33 ft vertical jump.&nbsp; His strength is up to a 455 Bench, a 200 Squat, a 328 Power Clean and 345-pound Incline.</P> <P>Chris shook his head, "I don't think anything when people say that I'm so fast being so big because I have so many friends that can do the same thing.&nbsp; We have 300 pounders in my neighborhood even quicker than
