Misa Paiau brings linebacker toughness and a sneaky offensive spark for Cal Poly
In the 2025 season, Misa Paiau was a useful two-way wild card for Cal Poly: listed as a linebacker, he appeared in 9 games and even scored two touchdowns on offense, including a 1-yard run against Portland State[11][10]. The differentiator is his versatility and physical profile at 6-0, 225, plus a backstory that says a lot about his competitiveness—he missed his entire senior high school season with a knee injury but still earned a place in the program and has already flashed special-teams and short-yardage value[1][3][4]. If you want a tough, flexible player with upside and edge, he’s worth a look[1][3].
