Personal life

Havili's parents, Tevita and Elva, were Tongan immigrants. His father, Tevita, raised eight children on a bus-driver salary in Salt Lake City.

Early years

Havili attended East High (Salt Lake City) as a freshman, then transferred to Cottonwood High School in Murray, Utah, where he earned all-state honors at Cottonwood High, compiling 2,652 all-purpose yards and 32 touchdowns as a senior. While a junior, he suffered a shoulder injury and as family couldn't afford physical therapy, he never rehabbed it properly and has played with a weakened left shoulder ever since. As of 2010, he estimates it has popped out of its socket 10-11 times; when it does he usually pops it back in and returns to the field. [1]

Havili earned playing time during his true freshman season at USC in 2006. During the third game of the season versus Arizona, Havili broke his leg and was out for the rest of the season. Because the injury happened early in the season, he was granted a medical redshirt by the NCAA. [1] Havili started all of his 2007 redshirt freshman season for USC. While starting all 13 games, he gained 134 yards on 21 carries (6.4 avg.) with 2 touchdowns and caught 34 passes for 248 yards (7.3 avg.) with 5 touchdowns. He was a 2007 Phil Steele's All-Pac-10 honorable mention pick. At Nebraska, he ran for 52 yards on 2 carries (including a 50-yarder on USC's opening play) with a 2-yard touchdown run and caught 3 passes for 22 yards with a 5-yard touchdown. [2]

He returned to start his redshirt sophomore year, however was declared academically ineligible for the final game in the 2009 Rose Bowl. [1] For the 2010 season, Havili was elected as a co-captain by his teammates. [1]

Havili was former Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez's college roommate during Sanchez's tenure at USC. [3]

Havili ended his USC career with the most receptions of any fullback in school history. [1]
