About Iona
Expert Analysis
Jordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Kupu has anchored the Chander defense from the inside over the past two seasons. 6’0” 220 lbs. he’s a reliable three down linebacker that plays with good patience and eye discipline. Calculated and controlled with his movement he allows himself time to diagnose and lets the play develop before exploding to the ball. Does a good job not overrunning plays or biting on misdirection. Aggressively fills run lanes, plays with good leverage, and takes on blocks with good strength and hand usage. High motor defender, he’ll chase hard sideline to sideline and has the lateral quickness to flow cleanly down the line. Strong tackler that wraps up, runs his feet on contact, and finishes through the ball carrier. Flying under the recruiting radar but expect to see a bump this offseason.
