Mateaki Helu said he is looking for a program that can connect with his family and understands and respects his religion. He is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Since then, the three-star athlete has gotten accustomed to being recruited. Even after shattering his elbow early in his freshman year at Tooele High and enduring a yearlong rehab process, schools still went hard after Helu.Helu committed to the University of Utah last August, on the very same day he received a scholarship offer. In the months that followed, he has continued to receive interest from schools, including Nebraska and Ohio State.

“I owe it all to God for these opportunities he’s given me, but I also owe it to myself to take them,” Helu wrote on Twitter. “My potential is Unmatched.” The next day, Helu took down that tweet and posted an apology. In that subsequent tweet, the junior who will transfer from Tooele High to Stansbury for next season, reaffirmed his commitment to the Utes.

I’m really sorry, but I was misinformed, and there was a ton of miscommunication, and so I acted upon it, I will not go into any further detail about it. But with everything made clear now.
