Nihipali is a versatile player for Shadow Ridge with promising physical tools at 6’5″/245. Fills roles in all three phases of the game as a DE, TE, and LS and showed some strong flashes at each position in his junior tape. His size and length will likely appeal to college coaches as a future DE with raw upside but will need to continue to show skill development and production this season. Keep an eye on Nihipali as we reach the stretch run of the 2026 recruiting cycle.
