Kai Rapolla brings verified speed, multi-sport athleticism, and CB upside to Washington State
Rapolla is a **6-foot cornerback** at Washington State with a track-profile foundation—he posted personal bests of **10.74 in the 100 meters**, **22.64 in the 200**, and **21-7 in the long jump**—which points to real recovery speed and burst in coverage.[3][1] He arrived at WSU as a transfer in January 2025, and his background as an **honors graduate** and former **team captain** suggests coachable, high-motor intangibles that fit a competitive secondary.[2][3][5] For a team, his appeal is clear: upside from athletic traits and competitiveness, with room to develop into a more polished cover defender.[1][3]
