Corvallis, Ore. -

Oregon State University linebacker David Pa’aluhi has withdrawn from school to join the United States Armed Forces, head coach Mike Riley announced Thursday.



Pa’aluhi, from Waianae, Hawai’i, started all 13 games at middle linebacker last season as a sophomore in helping the Beavers to an 8-5 mark and a tie for second place in the Pac-10 Conference. He was second on the team for total tackles with 77, including eight for loss. The 2009 Pac-10 Honorable Mention selection accounted for 96 career tackles for his two-year career, after redshirting in 2007.



“We fully support David’s decision,” Riley said. “He’s a terrific young man with a great future, and all of us in the Beaver football program thank him for his contributions and wish him the very best.”

Dude has a wife and kid, and wants to be a Navy Seal. God speed.

Beats fucking sheep.

2nd the rack! Kids a real hero....moreso than anything his teammates or any other division 1 FB player will ever become on the gridiron. Accomplishments in the NFL notwithstanding.

I dont see this going well.

Sin,

But in all seriousness, Rack him

Wife and kid at home? Seems selfish.

Didnt Tillman do the same thing?

Dumb move IMO, why not finish your eligibility and get a degree? He'd have more options in his life then. Hope this works out for him.
