Mike Iupati
University of Idaho senior offensive lineman Mike Iupati is one of three finalists for the Outland Trophy, which honors college football’s most outstanding interior lineman.
The 6-foot-6, 325 pound guard from Anaheim, California is a team captain and has been the leader of the Vandal offensive line this fall during Idaho’s best season in a decade.
Iupati is joined as a finalist by Oklahoma State’s Russell Okung and Nebraska’s Ndamukong Suh.
The Outland Trophy first was awarded in 1946 and is named to honor Pennsylvania’s John Outland, one of only a few players in history ever to be named All-America at two positions. He was a consensus All-America in 1898 at tackle and a consensus All-America honors at back in 1899.
