Offensive lineman Daniel Faalele, a 6-foot-8, 395-pound lineman, committed to the Golden Gophers on Saturday night.
The giant prospect is originally from Melbourne, Australia, and had no football experience before transferring to the IMG Academy. He was found by a Hawaii recruiter in a Melbourne gym and eventually attended one of Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh's satellite camps in Australia.

Word spread quickly of Faalele's size and raw ability, and he received scholarship offers from Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, LSU and Michigan, among others, based on potential alone.

This season was Faalele's first playing football.

SOMEWHERE along the way Melbourne teenager Daniel Faalele developed the nickname “Baby Shaq”, despite the fact that right now he is heavier than the sporting figure synonymous with titanic presence.
It was an early nickname that the 17-year-old out-grew almost instantly.

More recently the Florida-based high school student has been described as an “urban legend” and an “18-wheel truck”. All this is despite the fact he has never played a game of American football.

It’s not hard to see why America and now Australia have become engrossed in Faalele’s incredible story.

Let’s start with what you want to know. Faalele was most recently measured at 2.06m and more than 179kg heading into his senior year of high school.

He is raw physical perfection in the eyes of American football scouts looking for an offensive lineman.

Raw is the key word in that sentence. Despite arriving at IMG Academy in Bradenton, about an hours drive from Tampa, in August last year he has never played in a single down.

He could be the worlds biggest human. One big reason to watch college football next season.
