Where is '''2012 High School ESPN'S no. 26 ranked ILB? Adam(Atamu)Tagaloa Merritt Ah Ching?' Adam is currently serving a 2 year mission for the, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He serves in the Washington DC-North/Spanish speaking mission. Many top 25 D-1 colleges showed great interest in recruiting Ah Ching, but shied away from recruiting him due to his mission plans and his lack of support from his high school coaches in promoting his recruitment process. Academically, he qualified with a 3.02 GPA and a 1310 SAT SCORE, but received his score late in the NCAA qualifying process. However, with no D-1 scholarships available he accepted a scholarship to Mesa Community College and started several games with the Thunderbirds and made several tackles establishing himself with Head Coach, Ryan Felker as an impact defensive player to be reckoned with leading to one of the best league standings in over 12 years. Elder Ah Ching left for his mission plans in May of 2013 and is now fluent in Spanish and serves as a language trainer for new incoming missionaries which is ironic as he took only two semesters of Spanish in high school. He has one(1)year more year left and will return in April of 2015. When asked about his mission, Elder Ah Ching stated it was the greatest an best decision he has ever made. He admits he has grown in his: emotions, intellect, gratitude, spiritual, and physical stature; now 6'1" and 220. He has learned how to deal with adversity, rejection, and gained a deep 14:50, 17 April 2014 (UTC)D-1POLYSCOUT (talk)love for the Hispanic people from: Honduras, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Argentina, Costa Rica, and Puerto Rico. When asked about his college football plans after his mission, he states that playing for a college that knows how I play and wants me. Coach Lance Anderson, now DC at Stanford talked to me in 2012 at the All Poly Camp and wanted me in the Pac 12. I was invited by Coach James Franklin to Vanderbilt who now is HC at Penn St. who had scouted me heavily. Now new HC, Derek Mason at Vandy was OLB/DC at Stanford who knew of me with Coach Anderson. Also, Coach Frank Maile, former USU Defensive Line Coach now at Vandy who encouraged me to serve a mission. So for now the most important thing, Elder Ah Ching says is serving the Lord first and He will direct my path. I have a lot of football awards and honors and I do miss it, but for now my main mission is finding and serving the Hispanic people here in the Washington DC area and receiving blessings from this great work. See you later in April 2015 Aloha and mahalo.
