Recruiting Chess Match: Huskies Have Missouri TE on Their Board Samuel M'Pemba is a 6-foot-4, 230-pound prospect from St. Louis who likes what he's hearing from Washington. Author: Feb 12, 2021 It's safe to say the University of Washington football program is sharing its reputation for player development to a wider footprint, reaching out to tight-end prospect Samuel M'Pemba in Missouri. Prepping at Ladue Horton Watkins High School in St. Louis, M'Pemba was a force on both sides of the ball as a sophomore. "I just play," he said. "I don't worry about [stats]." The 6-foot-4, 230-pound M'Pemba most likely will be a 2023 SI All-American candidate at rush end or tight end, according to Trevor Mueller, Husky Maven recruiting analyst.
