Sami picked the Buffs over offers from Ole Miss, Northern Colorado and CSU-Pueblo.
During his senior season, in which Vista Ridge went 6-5 and made the Class 4A playoffs, Sami had 55.5 tackles, including a team-high 15.5 for a loss. He also had 4.5 sacks, and was a terror on special teams, blocking three field goals and a punt.
Sami also played boys basketball (where he was a center) and track (throws) during his freshman and sophomore years at Sierra.
