Lolo Mataele brings proven power and production to Western Michigan’s backfield
Ofa “Lolo” Mataele looks like a high-upside, no-nonsense running back who already has production to back up the profile: Western Michigan lists him as a First Team NJCAA All-American who set a rushing record with 1,351 yards and 22 touchdowns in 2024, and EA Sports rates him a 75 overall in College Football 26. His value goes beyond box scores — he brings a track record of finishing runs and scoring in bunches, which suggests a physical, efficient fit for a team that wants a dependable downhill runner.
