Buena Park DL Tupou gets offer

October 13th, 2011, 8:59 am by Steve Fryer



Buena Park senior defensive tackle Josh Tupou (6-4, 297) this week received a scholarship offer from Colorado, Buena Park coach Anthony White confirmed.
See? You don’t have to go to a Trinity League school, or to Mission Viejo or Los Alamitos or Edison etc., to get the attention of the college sports programs. If you are good, they will know.

Tupuo does A LOT of great things on the field between OL and DL. I think after watching those highlights, this kid has DL written all over him. His amazing agility and strength becomes very on that side of the ball, especially at NT. It's noticeable that his defense is a 3-4 as well. We need more guys like this on our front line.

YOu are right he looks better as a DL. Already 295, kid could grow to like 320 pounds.
 
Concerned that others haven't gone after him this late into the game, why?


At the same time if he is a big, physical athlete who can play in the trenches I'm willing to look. Hard to miss a guy who is close to 300lbs but sometimes it happens. Sounds like he plays in a conference and/or at a school that doesn't get a lot of attention.
 
This kid is going to explode I bet. Hopefully we can lock him up and convince him to not take visits elsewhere. Like Highlander said, I thought he looked great on D, not that he looked crappy on O, but yeah. Does he have a twin brother? Because we could use a clone of him on both sides of the line.
 
This kid is the real deal. Strong (Bench Presses 225 pounds 24 times), fast, very intelligent, finishes plays and is hardworking. He transferred in from another high school with no film to speak of, so offers are just now starting to roll in. This kid is big time, will make an immediate impact.
 
Damn 24 times as a senior is very nice. Looks like a mauler in the video as well. Polynesians are always great to have on the offensive line.


I'm rich bitch!
 
i really think this kid is blowing up and would love to get him in the black and gold...

24! Thanks for the info and welcome to allbuffs! Great screen name.
 
Picked up a few more offers. Scout says he's visiting on January 6th.
 
Fingers crossed on this one. I feel as strongly about him as I did about the first time I saw Jeff Thomas. I think this kid is the real deal. Would LOVE him on the DL though.

Scout switched him from OG to DT. Might mean that is where he's being recruited, especially considering that it is Scout that had the visit news and is probably most current on the Tupou info.

He prefers playing on the D-line, Nevada is the only school recruiting him for both the offensive and defensive lines. I know the dad, coach Tuiasosopo was at Josh Tupou's hous on Sunday night. I hope we can get him because i have seen him play and this kid is a beast. He is strong, explosive, and very smart. And thanks for the warm welcome.
