While being interviewed on the number 1 overall prospect Caleb Williams, and potential Bears teammate, Latu spoke highly of him:
"Shoot, he's such an athlete. I haven't faced a QB like him. When you beat the tackle and you have a free angle at him, you can't run full speed. He's always got a move. He sees you no matter where you're at on the field, and he's got a move waiting for you to try and get around you. You've got to plant your feet and redirect, because he's always bouncing from left to right, up and back"
- Latu said
Latu has declared for the NFL draft and is seen as being the best pass rusher in this class. He finished his college career as a superstar, as in just 2023 alone, he made a total of 49 tackles, 21.5 for loss, 13 sacks, and 2 interceptions.
This past season, Latu was awarded with the Ted Hendricks Award, the Lombardi Award, named as a Unanimous All-American, the Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year, the Morris Trophy, named as the Polynesian Football Player of the Year, and was named as a first-team All-Pac-12.
