LB SR New Mexico State
About Aupiu Updated Jul 29, 2026

Sone Aupiu is a steady, playmaking linebacker who anchors NMSU’s defense

A three-year starter for New Mexico State, Aupiu enters 2026 as the kind of linebacker coaches trust to set the tone: in 2025 he posted 68 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 1 interception, 4 pass breakups and 2 forced fumbles, building on a 2024 season with 55 tackles and five pass breakups. His differentiators are instincts, pursuit and reliability—he’s consistently around the ball, makes impact plays in coverage, and brings the toughness and stamina that show up beyond the box score. He looks like a strong fit for a defense that values range, consistency and veteran leadership.
