From an
article on a Stanford site about last week's Crespi-Mater Dei game:

Joseph Fauria is a real good-looking player. He has true tight end size at 6'7" and 250 lbs. He is not a "tweener". In the scout evaluation his blocking ability, size and ability in the red zone are noted strength while his running ability is highlighted for improvement. From the performance in this game, I have to conclude the running ability may have been associated with a young guy adjusting to growth. He had two touchdowns against Mater Dei on passes of 23 & 40 yards. The second was principally yards after the catch. In a straight-line race to the end zone the DB's were unable to close significantly on Fauria. On the defensive side of the ball he was effective as a run-stuffer using athletic ability to make life difficult for the bigs on the Mater Dei line. In addition, he used his height to block at least one Barkley pass. Fauria comes from a strong gene pool with an uncle (Christian) that has had a long NFL career as a tight end.
