Big-Body OL Anchor Ready to Lead Portland State’s 2026 Push
Kapeliele Hausia, a 6-4, 305-pound senior offensive lineman for the Portland State Vikings, brings rare size and strength to the Big Sky, having competed in seven games with one start at Hawai'i in 2025 [7]. His differentiator is his physical intensity and durability—he’s a 1V (one-year veteran) who thrives in high-pressure road environments, as shown by his start against Hawai'i [7]. While Portland State ended 2024 with just three wins [2], Hausia is poised to be a cornerstone in 2026, competing for a starting role with a profile that screams 'team fit' for any program needing a reliable, battle-tested interior blocker [5][7]. No reported injury history; his personality is marked by steady leadership and academic excellence, earning him a spot on the President’s List [10].
