Congrats son on committing to
@FSUFootball
let’s go to work son.
But first let’s watch your brother Matayo and his Duck Squad blowout Liberty in the Fiesta Bowl. 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
In 3 yrs time, I’m a proud parent of a college graduate. This was one of our main goals, to finish school and get a degree. Im excited for what God has in store for the next chapter in your life. I am not afraid for you are BLESSED and HIGHLY FAVORED DJ. Walk in your purpose son.
DJ has finally arrived in Tallahassee, Florida. He hit the ground running, going straight to workouts and training with his teammates at
@FSUFootball
. He is entering the next season with the utmost confidence. DJ is no stranger to hard work. He is always the first one to practice…
Right now, I wouldn’t change a thing. This is Trevors time. I want him to win the Heisman and this win to me will put him right back on top. DJ will have his time but right now, it’s our commander in chief T Law’s time. So proud of that young man.
DJ letting them know why he chose Clemson. It definitely wasn't for playing time for DJ. Could of went to so many other schools and probably would of started. But im glad someone filmed this...cause now you know why he chose CLEMSON. It was because of his Faith...🙏🙏🙏💯%
For some that don’t know, he grew up a Duck fan. So it’s not a surprise for us that know. It’s a childhood dream, it was his first offer in 8th grade, and his favorite college player played there, the Black Mamba Da’Anthony Thomas. I’m so excited for him.

It’s crazy, to see all the love for my son DJ is unbelievable. Calls, Text, DM’s and Post. Im just grateful to see all the outpouring of love and support for my son. I’m excited for my sons future. I’m excited for both my kids. Thank you Clemson for everything 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thankful for the love and support. My love for Clemson comes with the good, and the bad. I walk out the stadium and I heard “DJ Sucks“ I don’t get mad because it comes with the territory. We take it like a grain of salt. It’s ALWAYS

I am in Tallahassee with my son DJ and my nephew Sione Lolohea, both of whom transferred over from Oregon State. I am extremely excited for both of them. I am truly impressed with how amazing the staff is here at FSU. They show nothing but love. It's crazy because throughout the…
I’m not going to lie, and I’m just being honest, after my meeting with Nick Saban, I can honestly see Matayo suiting up for Alabama. It’s something about a father recognizing and respecting another fathers hard work and love for their kids. Nick Saban gets it, some coaches don’t.
Here you go

Congrats to Sione Lolohea, DJ’s island brother from OSU, way to follow your Polynesian brother DJ.

I don't care how much we are down, I cheer to the end. I honestly still felt like we had a chance. Hats off to OSU, good win. Now its time to celebrate our seniors and let them know how much we appreciate ALL of them 💯💯💯 Thank you for all that you've done for the underclassmen
Tough one today, you played a great game Matayo. Finally got a picture with just mom dad and the kids 🙏🏽 I’m proud of my family. What an amazing year for both of our sons. Not sure what next year will bring, but it was one heck of a year for the UIAGALELEI FAMILY. I’ll never…
Every time I’m with Ryan Day it’s like family. He’s a great individual, the same person you see on TV is who you get in person. Thank you for being a real one
@ryandaytime
🙏🙏🙏
You really can’t ask Brent to turndown generational changing income. I bet Dabo is even encouraging him to take the OU job cause that’s who he is. He wants the best for his friend. I know Bent personally, one of the most amazing human being. Not sure but BV definitely deserves it
You can’t measure 🧡 I’m so proud of you son. I’m proud of how you handled everything. You made no excuses and took everything head on. At the end of the day, God you get all the Glory…!!!
#GodsPlan
I mean, talk about showing love right after the game. USC Head coach Lincoln Riley congratulates Matayo on the CIF Championship win holding up my St John Bosco towel. Much respect coach Riley ✌🏽Fight On
Hanging out with OSU head coach Ryan Day is like hanging with family. It’s always a lot of fun and jokes. Coach Day Got a lot of love for Matayo 🙏🙏🙏 thank you coach.
Dabo talking about DJ and explaining who DJ is. I couldn't say it any better. How amazing is it when your son's future head coach can explain who your son is better than me...🙏🙏🙏 and you wonder why I'm not worried about DJ traveling across the country to attend school‼‼‼
You talk about why the players love their coach, Dabo gets dumbbed with Gatorade in 30 degrees weather, stood their and took it for his team. Not like he didn't see it coming, he saw it, put his hands up as if he gave them the blessing to do it...I love you Dabo.

Now, this is what it's all about. giving back…😊 little cute kid ask for a picture while we were waiting for DJ, DJ’s girlfriend Ava told the young kid, DJ will be right out and he would love to take a picture with you. Look at the smile on the kids cute face, it makes it all…

Champion son. What a crazy day it was, one son winning the bowl game, and the other one making ESPN headlines for heading to FSU. Exited for both boys, I’m excited to head back to the east coast. And yes I will be going to both kids games,…
No I’m not crazy, just crazy about my kids 😎 YES IM GOING TO BOTH GAMES TODAY and this is my getup for today!!! I’m the luckiest father who can watch both my kids play all in the same day 🤗 and most definitely LIVING MY BEST LIFE!!! GO BEAVERS 🦫 in the morning and GO DUCKS 🦆…
Son, I’m so proud of you. I’m most proud of how you handled everything. It’s not how you start, but it’s how you finish that matters most. You still got another year. You have the opportunity to finish strong. I love you son.

I feel bad for the Clemson staff and players who followed all COVID protocol to come all the way out to FSU and to have them pull out last minute. It should be a forfeit, not postponement.
Talking to Jordan at practice was a highlight for me because first, he’s a freaking rockstar 😎 Everyone came up asking to say hi and get a picture. He handled that so gracefully and made everyone feel special. Just a straight gentleman. We had a conversation about how good of a…

Thank you Trevor, I’ll say it again and again, the way you received DJ and took him under your wings, it played a huge part in DJ’s success on and off field. Thank you again Trevor for being so kind to my son. God bless you on your journey 🙏🙏🙏
I beg the differ !!! Why don’t you ask their coaches that bailed on them after the season. DJ took OSU to their highest CFP ranking ever

. I’m pretty sure that had a lot to do with coaches getting hired at MS. IJS 🤦🏻
I never thought the day would come that my boys would actually dwarf me. I felt so small but yet so proud that these were my handsome sons. I’m feeling so thankful and blessed....🙏🙏🙏

Had to go to Guitar Center and buy my son Matayo something for his studio, so I saw the piano and decided to jumped on it and jam for you guys a little bit. A little rusty but I can still tickle the ivories a little bit...lol.
My sons are my life. Thank you Lord for allowing me and blessing me to be their father. If anyone knows me, they know from Day-1 I went hard for my kids. I gave it everything I had, and I have no regrets. My kids are the results of all the sacrifice Tausha and I made for them🙏🙏
Thank you Dan for loving my son. He made the best chose on becoming a Duck🦆. Since his enrollment in January, Matayo already looks different, lost baby fat and gained muscle. He doesn’t miss home at all. I feel even closer to him now even though he’s much farther from me. And to…
What Dabo Swinney has done with in his players lives, by teaching life lessons that will inspire them to be more than just successful football players, but amazing husbands, fathers and just a responsible law abiding citizen. That's why Dabo is so successful...he gets it.
No one knows how much I love this kid and his family. Came in together with DJ and they’ve been connected as roommates and everything else. 🙏🙏🙏 praying for a quick and full recovery.

mid year enrollment, you talk about flipping the roster😱😱😱 they have 30 student athletes here for mid year enrollment, that’s half a team right there.
@CoachDanLanning
ain’t playing, he reminds me of a young Pete Carroll.
Let’s go PHOMMACHANH, I’ve said it over and over, I just want a CLEMSON win. It’s a team sport and we support who ever is on the field.

For me, it’s always in how you do things. I’ve always felt Smith was going to leave, because you can’t turn down those opportunities that comes once in a career. You have to capitalize on those opportunities, your loyalty is to your family first. So I’m not disappointed at all…
I am absolutely livid if I’m an Oregon State fan. Don’t blame Smith because of Oregon State’s situation, but I bet Smith won’t likely ever be welcomed in Corvallis again. Very sad day.
Matayo saw the piano at the Columbus Airport and he had to jump on and get a little jam session in before we head back to Cali. Thank you
@OhioStateFB
and the whole staff for an amazing weekend.
DJ’s family is out here reppin in Clemson...
#ALLIN
I can honestly say, Clemson is Gods Country. People here are so generally kind and loving. I’m so glad DJ chose Clemson. I have no worries about my son being way out in Clemson because DJ is home...🙏🙏🙏
Matayo and Coach Saban. Thank you coach, I’m just thankful in how your recruiting him. It was great hearing your philosophy on life coach Saban. It was an honor coach.
God has DJ’s back. Whatever happened, will happen regardless. This is a part of learning. Something DJ has to face and go through. I rather DJ go through it now, than later in his career. We just have to trust Gods process…🙏🙏🙏

there wasn’t a dried eye in attendance during this amazing speech fr Kyngston Asa. This is the type of player your getting up in South Bend.
I’m shopping at Beaver Store and wondering why people looking at me funny lol. I totally forgot I had my Duck beanie on 😂 I picked up all my Beaver gear finally.
Clemson fans are the most loyal and humble fans around. Coming all the way down to show support for their future QB. And you wonder why im not worried about sending my son to Clemson. DJ is basically going to his second home where I know Clemson Fans will love DJ as their own 🤗
I love my son so much. You owned it son. It’s about how you handle adversity and do the right things to move on from it, and the best thing you can do is own up to it, pick yourself up, dust your knees off and keep chopping son! You got a long season ahead of you.
DJ U: "It’s on me. I don't think I played very good. I didn’t play good enough at all. I didn't think I played good enough to win the ball game today. .. I’ve got to start off playing better from the beginning. I think it’s as clear as that."
Well it’s that time to get on a plane and head on to Vegas and watch my son Matayo aka Young Concrete and his DUCK Squad get their payback on Friday. Ducks are favored in the PAC12 Conference Championship Game. It’s only right since the Ducks are playing their best football right…
Last night was a blur, filled with all types of emotions, excitement and sadness. This was the night of the UIAGALELEI BROTHERS, both who showed the country that it’s more than just a game of football. This is one of the biggest rivalry game in the country, and to see both my…
😂😂😂 this is pretty cool, I’ve never seen my boys go up against each other like this. I think it’s hilarious that Matayo has the opportunity to sack his brother. I myself can’t see it because of how close my sons are. Matayo literally looks up to his brother, and DJ is very…
Dan Lanning asked what he has told Matayo Uiagalelei about going up against his brother, DJ Uiagalelei, in this matchup.
"Hit your brother. Go hit your brother."
Thank you
@R2X_Rushmen1
for showing so much love for my son. Had a great time with you and the whole family. To think I protected your son Larry Johnson Jr when I was his bodyguard back in his NFL days, it comes full circle. 🙏🙏🙏 God is so good 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

running back in the country Will Shipley. This kid is so amazing. If you don’t believe me watch his highlight. Just remember I put you on first cause this kid is going to be a stud. Clemson just keeps reloading every year....💯💯💯💯💯
I’m so thankful that my son found his way to Beaver Nation. This year has been AMAZING, not how we want to end it but like DJ said, it comes with the territory. As you hear my son, he is very compassionate about his team, and his teammates. Made the best decision on becoming a…
DJ Uiagalelei on playing for OSU:
"Just thankful to be a Beaver, man. It's just been nothing but everything I've wanted, when I decided to come here... I wouldn't trade this for the world."
Also confirmed post game that he'll play in OSU's bowl game.

It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey. For my kids, it’s more than about football, It’s always been about family first 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you to the State of Oregon for loving my kids 👊🏽
Had dinner with my boys and these two are still the same, cracking jokes and talking about their situations, only thing that change is their size 😱 I just keep getting shorter or these two just keeps getting bigger 🤦🏻♂️ No Beaver gear yet.

BIG WIN for the BEAVS. It was a team effort. For me, MVP goes to the 🔒👇🏽 DEFENSE 🏆
DJ, keep chopping son. I’m proud of you. You’re a great leader. What ever it takes to get a W‼️

First and foremost, our prayers going out to Trevor for a speedy rerecovery, he's the leader of the team and he's been a great mentor to DJ. All im going to say is this, I have Faith that my son is ready to step in and help his team win. What ever it takes
