Tuitupolu's junior season performance helped Kahuku win the state championship.
The scouting report on Tuitupolu is he's very physical and aggressive. You can handle him with just one blocker. He plays the game with a mean streak and shows the opposition no mercy.
You better pack a lunch when you go up against Tuitupolu because it is always going to be a long day at the offense.
Tuitupolu has a very quick first step that makes him tough to block.
The talented defensive lineman already has six offers on the table from Arizona, Oregon State, BYU, Utah, Boise State and the home state Hawai'i.
USC is just sent Tuitupolu a letter say will be visiting the Kahuku campus this spring to take a look at him.
What is Tuitupolu looking for in a college?
"I'm looking for a school where I can come in and help the team right away," Tuitupolu said. "I also want to go to a school where no one from Hawai'i has been to."
"I don't have any favorite schools just yet," Tuitupolu said. "But I am more interested in the schools that are showing interest in me."
"I already attended the US Army All-America Bowl camp last January," Tuitupolu said. "I will attend the NIKE Camp to be held in Palo Alto this coming May."
"Distance from home could be difference, but if the offer is too good to pass up then I will end up going wherever that school is."
