The 2027 adidas Polynesian Bowl has added another prospect to its game, and it is one of the most coveted class of 2027 prospects in the Yellowhammer State. Alabaster (Ala.) Thompson three-star safety Junior Tu’upo is set to wrap up his senior year alongside many other elite athletes at the prestigious game.
This is a moment that means a great deal to the 6-3 192-pounder, who 247Sports slots as the No. 30 safety in America and No. 16 prospect in his home state.
“It is definitely a part of my culture, and it’s definitely important to me. I’ve been wanting to play in this game for a while,” said Tu’upo. “I know big-time players played in this game, especially Travis Hunter, one of my favorite players to watch. I’m definitely excited to be playing in the Polynesian Bowl.”
