BYU OL Ikinasio Tupou brings size, polish and recruiting pedigree
Tupou is a long, athletic **6-foot-6** offensive tackle prospect who arrived at BYU as a three-star recruit with a composite 247Sports score of **86**, and his high school film-backed profile was built on **97 pancake blocks** at Palo Alto, including **30** as a senior and a career-best **38** as a junior. BYU described him as “**long, athletic, tough**” and “**a really smart guy**,” which points to a lineman who fits best in a program that values development, intelligence and physical upside more than immediate stats; as of the latest available update, he had **not appeared in games for BYU** and was expected to seek a new opportunity via the transfer portal.[1][6][12]
