Tafisi selected the Huskies over scholarship offers from California, Oregon, Utah and Vanderbilt, to name a few. Writing for Scout.com, Blair Angulo said the following of Tafisi at the all-Poly camp last June in Sandy, Utah:
Coaches searching for a steady inside linebacker should look no further than Tafisi. The three-star prospect flew to the football, hit holes at full speed to meet blocks and ball carriers, and might have been the most reliable tackler in the event.
