Overview

  • Fualalo was born in Brisbane and completed his high school career at Mater Dei High in California.
  • He spent three seasons at the University of Utah before transferring to Hawaii and earning a starting role at right tackle in 2023.
  • Invited to Seattle’s rookie minicamp in May as a tryout player, he parlayed that opportunity into an undrafted free-agent contract.
  • His signing expands Seattle’s growing cadre of Australians, which already includes punter Michael Dickson following his recent four-year extension.
  • The move highlights a rising Australian talent pipeline via programs like Melbourne’s Conquest Athletic Performance and aligns with the NFL’s push into Australia and New Zealand as a Global Markets rights-holder.
