Fine Unga played two seasons in 1987 and 1988 for the Wildcat football team and still ranks as one of the school's best running backs.
In two years with the Wildcats, Unga totaled 2,298 rushing yards, which still ranks fifth in rushing in school history. He is also seventh in WSU history in all-purpose yards and 10th in career rushing touchdowns.
Unga, a native of Provo, Utah, came to Weber State after two seasons at Dixie Junior College where he earned Junior College All-America honors.
In 1987, his first year with the Wildcats, he helped Weber State to a 10-3 record and a 7-1 mark in Big Sky play under head coach Mike Price. Unga became just the second Wildcat ever to rush for 1,000 yards in a season as he totaled 1,032 yards with six touchdowns. He rushed for 220 yards in a win over Northern Arizona, at the time the third best single-game total in school history. He led the Big Sky in All-purpose yards and finished fourth in rushing to earn first team All-Big Sky honors.
As a senior in 1988, Unga rushed for 1,266 yards in 11 games for an average of 115 yards per game. The season total still ranks as the seventh most yards in a season in WSU history and his 13 touchdowns are the sixth most in a season.
In his two seasons Unga totaled 19 career touchdowns and had 3,663 career all-purpose yards.
