Offensive Lineman Losipini Tupou on What Makes Nebraska Unique

The Nebraska Cornhuskers recently had a newer offer on campus by the name of Losipini Tupou.

Tupou is a three-star 2025 offensive lineman from San Leandro, California, who attends Archbishop Riordan High School in San Francisco. He measures in at around 6-foot-3 and 285 pounds.

After his visit, he spoke with HuskerMax to go into detail.

“My visit to Nebraska was great. My dad and I had a good time being able to check out their facilities and learn what Nebraska is all about,” Tupou stated.

He said he connected the most with recruiting assistant Devon Hike and offensive line coach Donovan Raiola. “They were the ones who really took us under their wing and made sure we were always taken care of as well as making it feel like home throughout our visit.”

He shared some more observations from on and off the field.

“Nebraska is a place where you will not only become a better player, but a better person in the process. You have the opportunity to become whatever you want without being limited by their football schedule. The standard is set and Nebraska is building a great team with an already solid foundation.”

Something off the field is what he believes makes the Huskers special.

“What makes Nebraska unique is the standard for high-quality education. Nebraska is home to the most Academic All-Americans in the sport of football. Players are not limited to what they can accomplish because of football. Academics are a must at Nebraska and they take pride in being elite in and out of the classroom.”

Raiola’s coaching style caught his eye.

“From watching practice, Coach Raiola has a unique way of coaching the O-line position, which is different than any other I’ve seen. Raiola’s coaching allows his linemen to get off the ball as quickly and as violently as possible which allows them to get the D-line off guard and quickly push up the the second level. This style of play could easily make for a very successful run game in the trenches. The standard is set high and Coach Raiola gets off on anyone who doesn’t live up to that standard which is a must in your coach if you want to be successful.”

An official visit to Lincoln appears likely for Tupou, who holds about a dozen offers.

“Yes, I hope to come back again on an OV. Nebraska is high on my list, so why not?”
