It looks like his intent was never to sign on early signing day, but instead to sign in February when National Signing Day is.

According to his 247Sports page, his 247Sports Composite ranking is 0.9990. He’s considered the best player in the state of Washington and the second-ranked defensive end in the nation.

The latest crystal ball predictions have Tuimoloau going to Ohio State but they’re not on the high end of confidence. The highest is at a number five (out of a scale of 10) though there should be more coming as we get closer to February.

If the Buckeyes are able to land Tuimoloau, it would make their 2021 class that much more vaunted.
