Top-rated Nevada ILB who brings early-enrollee polish to UNLV
Koi Pa'ao'ao is a highly regarded local linebacker prospect who arrived at UNLV early, got spring-practice reps, and already has game experience after appearing in one 2024 contest. The differentiator is his recruiting pedigree and production profile: he was rated the top ILB in Nevada by 247Sports, On3, and ESPN, and ESPN listed him among the nation’s top 50 at the position. His high-school tape and resume suggest a physical, productive inside backer who can fit a program looking for an instinctive, well-regarded defensive piece with upside.
