Apelu checks into our offensive line rankings inside the top 4 at the position and just inside the top 30 overall across Idaho. He is a true interior road grader that snaps out of his stance and gets immediate vertical push and displacement inside. He has a quick first step and shows a strong and balanced base throughout his block progressions while able to scrape to the second level and even pull needed. He moves well for his size and projects as a interior prospect in college. In past protection he has patient hands, is not a lunger and can anchor against bull rushers and move quickly enough to diagnose stunts/twists upfront. He is a no brainer D3+ kid that should be gathering college interest sooner rather than later.

Apelu is a dominant offensive lineman with his ability to bend and play with great leverage. He really does an excellent job with his hands in pass protection and then is able to move and mirror defensive lineman. He has a strong punch and drives his feet on contact that allows him to move down lineman or move up to the next level.

Apelu is the anchor of an offensive line that prides itself on being physical at the point of attack. A big frame that moves extremely well and is able to create huge running lanes for his backs. Balanced with a great base and ability to use leverage against defenders to create knock back. He is quick to mirror defenders in the passing game and does a really good job of protecting his inside gap.

Apelu checks into our ranks just outside the top 15 overall in the 2026 class, but as a top 2 offensive lineman across the state. He is a true interior mauler that wins with a strong initial punch, good pad level and powerful lower body that can quickly create vertical push in the run game. He shows the ability to pull and get to the second level with proper angles and can sustain blocks downfield while showing good finish with some violence at the first two levels as well. Coming off a stellar 2023 campaign, he should continue his dominance in the trenches this Fall and be a name to note as we head into the off season.

Apelu has the ideal size for the position, especially for his age and will have no shortage of varsity playing experience as he gets going into his Junior season. He is a violent blocker with a strong lower half, good punch and gets defenders quickly off their rush with a low hat and finish downfield. He is a true interior mauler that excels at blocking in-between the tackles but can also get to the second level and pull across the LOS as well with solid movement and is a snapper out of his stance.

Apelu should be an All-Conference selection as a junior in 2024, and one of the better IOL prospects Idaho has in this 2026 class.

Apelu checks into our rankings as the number two offensive lineman in this 2026 class, and deservingly so. He is a true road grader with massive size, natural strength and quickly moves defenders off the ball. He moves very well for his size, snaps out of his stance and has a strong punch to create immediate knock-back and also shows he can pull and get out in space to linebackers and second level defenders. He is a powerful kid already as a sophomore, and should find his home in college down the line at the IOL position. Look for Apelu to be a possible All-State candidate at this time next season.

Apelu is a monster for Madison where he is an impact player on the offensive line. He is the type of player that you want to run the football behind on every snap with his great leverage and pad level. He is able to absolutely dominant defensive lineman at the point of attack. He has a good bend and explosion in his hips to really finish his blocks and will be one to watch as he progresses through his junior season.
